9 ft Cat6 Ethernet cable

This nine-foot Cat6 patch cord carries data at up to 10 Gbps for runs up to 160 ft and supports 100 W Power over Ethernet. It is suited for home offices, small-business networks and installers who need reliable copper links without shielded bulk.

Capacity and headroom

The 24 AWG stranded 100 % copper conductors are rated at 250 MHz and tested to 500 MHz, giving headroom for 2.5 Gbps and 5 Gbps multi-gigabit equipment as well as 10 Gbps at shorter distances. Beyond 160 ft the 10 Gbps rate drops off, so longer backbone runs need a higher category cable.

Snagless RJ-45 connectors and CMG jacket

Gold-plated RJ-45 plugs feature snagless boots that protect the locking tab during frequent patch-panel changes. The PVC jacket carries a CMG fire rating for general-purpose in-wall routing, and the T568B wiring standard ensures compatibility with standard network gear.

Questions about this item

Will the 24 AWG stranded copper conductors and 500 MHz rating work with my existing Cat 5e patch panel and 1 Gbps switch?

Yes, the Cat 6 cable is backward compatible with Cat 5e infrastructure and will negotiate at the highest speed both ends support, up to 1 Gbps on your current switch.

How can I verify the cable is delivering the rated 500 MHz bandwidth after installation?

Use a Cat 6 qualified cable certifier or a network tester that reports frequency sweep results up to 500 MHz; a simple continuity tester only confirms wiring order, not bandwidth.

Does the box include any couplers or wall plates, or is it just the 9 ft snagless patch cord with gold-plated RJ-45 ends?

Only the 9 ft UTP patch cord with gold-plated RJ-45 connectors on both ends is included; couplers, wall plates and mounting hardware are sold separately.
