Cat6 patch cable, 5 ft purple

This Cat6 patch cable is a 5 ft purple stranded cable with RJ-45 male connectors on both ends. It is built for patching network devices in homes, offices or server racks. The booted, snagless and moulded design protects the connector tabs during frequent moves. It supports data, voice and video distribution at up to 550 MHz.

Suits short runs; not for long links or outdoor use

The 5 ft length fits desktop-to-switch, patch-panel-to-switch or device-to-wall-plate connections where a short, flexible lead is needed. Buyers who need longer horizontal runs, in-wall rated cable, shielded construction or outdoor-rated jackets should look at something else. The stranded conductors make it ideal for movable patch cords rather than fixed backbone wiring.

Cat6 rating up to 550 MHz

The cable is verified to Category 6 performance up to 550 MHz and meets TIA/EIA-568-B.2-1 draft 9 standards. This bandwidth rating is the specification that determines whether the cable will support the intended network speed. It is backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat5 applications.

Questions about this item

Will a 5 ft patch cable running all day add noticeable heat or power draw to my rack?

A passive Cat 6 copper patch cord carries only the signal current from the connected ports; it generates no measurable heat and draws no power of its own.

What devices must I already have to use the RJ-45 connectors on this cable?

Any network device with a standard RJ-45 jack — such as a switch, router, patch panel, or network interface card — will accept both ends of this cable.

Can I plug this Cat 6 cord into older Cat 5e or Cat 5 ports without issues?

Yes, the cable is designed for use in Cat 6, Cat 5e and Cat 5 applications and meets the TIA/EIA-568-B-2.1 draft 9 standard for backward compatibility.
