3 ft Cat 6 patch cable

This 3 ft Cat 6 patch cable connects two RJ45 ports with a straight-through pinout. It is built for Cat 6, Cat 5e and Cat 5 network runs where a short, unshielded link is required. The gray jacket and snagless boots suit desktop, patch-panel or wall-plate installations. The cable is UL verified and meets EIA/TIA Cat 6 and TIA/EIA-568-B.2-1 draft 9 standards.

Capacity and headroom

Rated to 550 MHz, the cable carries gigabit Ethernet with margin for typical PoE loads and voice or video streams. Unshielded construction keeps the cable flexible but offers no protection against strong EMI sources such as fluorescent ballasts or motor drives. At 3 ft the length suits rack-to-rack or device-to-switch jumps; longer runs need a longer cable.

Unshielded Cat 6

The single deciding specification is the unshielded Cat 6 rating at 550 MHz. If the installation demands foil or braid shielding, alien-crosstalk mitigation or a plenum jacket, this cable does not meet those requirements.

Questions about this item

Will the 3 ft Cat 6 cable work with my existing Cat 5e switch and router?

Yes, the cable is designed for Category 6, Category 5e and Category 5 applications so it will connect to your current hardware without issues.

How can I verify the cable is performing to the 550 MHz rating after I plug it in?

Run a cable certifier or use your switch port statistics to confirm link speed and low error counters at Gigabit rates.

Does the package include only the gray 3 ft patch cord or are wall plates and keystones also supplied?

The box contains the single 3 ft gray RJ45 male-to-male patch cable; wall plates, keystones or additional cables are sold separately.
