What this cable connects

A six-foot Cat6 patch cord with male RJ45 plugs on both ends. It links computers, printers, consoles, routers and other network gear in home or office runs. The black PVC jacket and moulded strain relief protect the 24 AWG stranded pairs during daily handling.

Behaviour under sustained load

Rated for 550 MHz bandwidth and 1 Gbps throughput, the cable maintains low near-end crosstalk across the full length. Gold-plated contacts and a staggered-pin plug design preserve signal integrity during continuous 1000Base-T, 100 Mbps TPDDI or 155 Mbps ATM traffic.

The spec that decides fit

The six-foot length fixes the maximum distance between two RJ45 ports. If your layout demands a longer or shorter run, this cable will not reach or will leave excess slack.

Questions about this item

Does the 24 AWG copper construction generate any heat or signal loss when the cable runs continuously at 1 Gbps?

The 24 AWG stranded copper conductors are rated for 550 MHz bandwidth and 1 Gbps throughput, so continuous operation produces no measurable heat and maintains error-free signal transfer.

What devices must already have RJ45 ports for this cable to connect them?

Both endpoints need an RJ45 female jack — typical examples are computers, routers, switches, printers, game consoles, Blu-ray players or network-attached storage.

Will the 550 MHz Cat6 rating work reliably with older 100 MHz Cat5e wall plates and 10/100 Mbps switches?

Yes, the cable is backward compatible with Cat5/5e infrastructure and supports 10/100Base-T, 100 Mbps TPDDI and voice applications alongside gigabit links.
