Cat 6 patch cable, 6 ft

This Cat 6 patch cable is a ready-made network link with RJ-45 plugs on both ends. The yellow jacket makes it easy to trace in a crowded rack or behind a desk. It is built for gigabit Ethernet and general data runs. Home users and small-business installers can plug it in without tools.

Suits fixed runs, not wall pulls

The moulded boots and snagless tabs protect the latch during frequent reconnects, so it works well for desk-to-switch or patch-panel jumpers. The stranded conductors stay flexible for routing around corners. Installers who need bulk cable for in-wall termination or who require a plenum rating should choose a different product.

Cat 6 rating sets the bandwidth

The cable meets the Cat 6 specification, which supports gigabit speeds over the full 6 ft length. If the network equipment negotiates a higher category, this link will become the limiting factor. Check the switch and NIC capabilities to confirm the cable matches the intended throughput.

Questions about this item

Which length should I choose for a short desk-to-switch run?

The 6 ft Cat 6 patch cable reaches a nearby switch or wall jack without excess slack, and its booted, snagless RJ-45 plugs protect the latch during frequent moves.

What does the Cat 6 rating deliver on an actual gigabit link?

Cat 6 supports gigabit Ethernet speeds over the full 6 ft length, so the cable will carry a 1 Gb/s connection without being the bottleneck.

How do the RJ-45 connectors limit what I can plug this into?

Both ends use standard RJ-45 male plugs, so the cable fits any RJ-45 port — routers, switches, PCs, patch panels — and the Cat 6 construction caps performance at gigabit rates.
