5 ft Cat6 patch cable

This five-foot Cat6 patch cable is built for anyone who needs a short, reliable link between a router, switch, or wall jack and a desktop, laptop, or network appliance. The blue jacket makes it easy to identify in a crowded rack or under a desk. It suits home offices, small-business networks, and temporary test setups where a compact run is preferred.

Snagless moulded connectors

Moulded strain-relief boots and a snagless tab design protect the RJ-45 latch during frequent insertion and removal. The staggered-pin plug layout keeps near-end crosstalk low, while high-quality copper conductors reduce impedance and structural return loss compared with standard 100 MHz wire. The flexible jacket routes cleanly around corners without kinking.

Cat6 performance rating

Rated to the Cat6 standard, the cable supports gigabit Ethernet speeds over its full five-foot length. It is not intended for runs that exceed the channel limits of the Cat6 specification or for outdoor and plenum installations that require specialised jacketing. Buyers needing longer distances or higher category ratings should select a different cable.

Questions about this item

What does the Cat 6 rating mean for real-world speed over this 5 ft cable?

The Cat 6 rating means the cable is built to handle Gigabit Ethernet reliably across the full 5 ft run, with reduced impedance and structural return loss compared to standard 100 MHz wire.

Will the RJ45 plugs on this 5 ft cable fit a standard keystone jack or wall plate without blocking adjacent ports?

The moulded snagless boots on each RJ45 plug add a small overhang, so check the port spacing on your keystone or patch panel; most standard cut-outs accept them, but very dense panels may need a slim-boot cable instead.

Is there a specific way to seat the staggered-pin plugs so the near-end crosstalk benefit actually works?

Push each RJ45 connector straight in until the latch clicks; the staggered-pin geometry does the rest automatically — just avoid rocking the plug side-to-side during insertion, which can bend pins and defeat the crosstalk design.
