Three-foot Cat6 patch cable

This three-foot Cat6 patch cable connects computers, routers and switches in home or office LANs. Purple colour coding helps identify the link at a glance. Snagless moulded boots protect the RJ45 tabs during repeated insertion and removal. Gold-plated 50-micron contacts maintain a clean signal path.

Stranded copper construction under load

Four twisted pairs of stranded copper wire resist crosstalk when the link runs at 100-1000BASE-T rates for extended periods. The Cat6 design reduces packet loss compared with Cat5e, so retransmissions stay low during sustained transfers. Snagless boots keep the connectors seated even when cables are routed through tight cable-management channels.

Cat6 practical distance limit

The Cat6 standard supports gigabit Ethernet up to 100 metres, but this cable is only three feet long. It is therefore suited to patch-panel-to-switch or device-to-wall-plate runs, not long backbone segments. Builders needing longer horizontal runs must use additional cable or a different length.

Questions about this item

Does the 3 ft Cat6 cable generate any heat or noise when it runs all day?

No, a passive copper patch cable produces no heat and makes no sound during continuous operation.

What equipment must I already have to use this RJ45 male-to-male patch cable?

You need two devices with RJ45 ports — such as a router, switch, PC or console — to plug each end into.

Will this Cat6 cable work with my older Cat5e wall jacks and 100BASE-T switch?

Yes, Cat6 is fully backward compatible with Cat5e infrastructure and 100BASE-T equipment.
