Cat6 patch cable, 5 ft

This Cat6 patch cable is 5 ft long with RJ45 male connectors on both ends. It uses 24 AWG 4-pair stranded UTP wire rated for 550 MHz and 1 Gbps communication. Gold-plated copper contacts and a moulded strain-relief boot complete the assembly.

Home and office networks needing a short Cat6 link

The 5 ft length suits desk-to-router or patch-panel connections in home and office settings. Builders who need longer runs, outdoor-rated jackets or shielded cable for high-interference environments should look at something else.

550 MHz bandwidth rating

The cable is tested to 550 MHz, supporting gigabit Ethernet speeds up to 1 Gbps. That bandwidth figure is the specification that confirms the cable will handle the intended network throughput.

Questions about this item

Does the 24 AWG stranded construction generate any heat or signal loss when the cable carries a full 1 Gbps load continuously?

The 24 AWG stranded conductors are rated for 550 MHz and 1 Gbps communication, so normal full-speed traffic produces no measurable heat or signal degradation.

What devices must already have RJ45 ports for this 5 ft Cat6 patch cable to work?

Any two network devices with standard RJ45 jacks — such as a router, modem, computer, printer, Blu-ray player or game console — will connect directly with this cable.

Will this Cat6 cable work reliably with older 10/100Base-T equipment that only supports 100 Mbps?

Yes, the cable is designed for 1000Base-T and backward-compatible 10/100Base-T, so it will negotiate down to 100 Mbps without errors on legacy hardware.
