5 ft Cat6 patch cable for gigabit networks

This five-foot blue Cat6 patch cable connects computers, printers, game consoles, Blu-ray players, copiers, routers and modems in home or office networks. It uses 24 AWG stranded UTP with gold-plated RJ45 male connectors on each end and a moulded strain-relief boot. The cable is rated for 550 MHz bandwidth and supports data rates up to 1 Gbps.

Check your existing runs and ports

Verify that your router, switch or device ports accept standard RJ45 plugs and that a five-foot length reaches between the two endpoints without tension. Ensure the surrounding infrastructure is at least Cat5e so the link can negotiate gigabit speeds; older Cat5 segments will limit throughput to 100 Mbps. Confirm the jack spacing allows the moulded boot to seat fully.

Replaces worn or shorter Cat5e and Cat5 patch cords

Swapping a damaged, kinked or too-short Cat5e lead for this Cat6 cable restores full 1 Gbps headroom and reduces near-end crosstalk on the link. The upgrade is worthwhile when you need a reliable five-foot run for 1000Base-T, 100 Mbps TPDDI, 155 Mbps ATM, ISDN, voice or Token Ring Type 3 applications. It does not add extra length or change the port type.
