  • Cat6
  • Length1 ft.
  • ColorGray
  • 1 ft length keeps rack runs tidy

Ideal for short rack links

This AddOn Cat6 patch cable measures one foot and uses gray PVC jacketed unshielded twisted pair copper with RJ-45 straight connectors. It is built for LAN or SAN runs between patch panels, switches, routers and media converters. The 250 MHz rated cable suits data centres and short-range network connections. Federal law guarantees it will not void OEM warranties.

Upgrades from Cat5e or worn patch leads

Replacing older Category 5e or damaged cables with this Cat6 link raises the usable bandwidth ceiling to 250 MHz and reduces crosstalk in dense racks. The jump is worth it when you need reliable gigabit throughput over very short distances without the bulk of longer cords. It also helps when colour-coding grey for a specific VLAN or trunk.

Verify port spacing and cable management

Confirm the one-foot length reaches between your specific ports without tension or sharp bends. Ensure the unshielded design matches your environment; shielded cable may be required in high-EMI cabinets. Check that straight-through wiring matches the devices you are linking; crossover needs a different cable. The gray jacket should fit your existing colour scheme.

Questions about this item

What connector type and cable length does this 1 ft Cat6 patch cable use for a direct device-to-device link?

It has RJ-45 male plugs on both ends and measures 1 ft end to end, so it plugs straight into two Ethernet ports without an adapter.

Which wiring scheme does the straight-through Cat6 cable follow, and what common mistake should be avoided when seating the plugs?

The cable uses a straight pin-out; the mistake is not pushing each RJ-45 until the tab clicks, which leaves the connection intermittent.

How often should the PVC jacket and copper conductors be inspected, and what wear signs mean the cable must be replaced?

Check the jacket and connectors during routine rack maintenance; replace the cable if the PVC is cracked, kinked, or the RJ-45 tabs are broken.
