Cat6 Gigabit patch cable for network devices

This Cat6 UTP patch cord connects printers, computers, copiers, routers, servers, modems and switches in a local area network. Rated for 1 Gbps communications, it suits high-density data centres and office workstations alike. The gray jacket allows quick visual identification in crowded racks. It is not for installers who need longer runs or different colour coding.

Slim design eases routing and protects connectors

At more than 38% smaller diameter than standard Cat6 cable, it improves airflow in full racks and simplifies routing around corners and through cable management panels. Snagless RJ45 male connectors shield the locking tabs from damage during insertion and removal. No special tools are required; the connectors click into standard RJ45 ports. Installers who need armoured or outdoor-rated jackets should look elsewhere.

Five-foot length for short patch connections

The cable measures 5 ft end to end, fitting typical rack-to-rack or device-to-panel links. Both ends carry RJ45 male plugs wired to the Cat6 UTP specification. Buyers needing 15-foot or 45-foot runs must select a different length.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the cable is delivering a 1 Gbps link after I plug it in?

Check the link lights on both connected devices; a solid green or amber LED typically indicates a negotiated Gigabit connection.

What comes with the cable and is anything else required to use it?

The package contains the 5 ft Cat6 UTP patch cord with molded snagless RJ45 plugs on both ends; no additional parts are needed for a standard Ethernet link.

Which length should I choose for a short rack or desk connection?

The 5 ft gray version keeps slack minimal in tight spaces while the 15 ft option suits longer runs between racks.
