Compact retractable Cat 6 link

The Black Box CAT6-RETRACT is a Category 6 Ethernet cable built for quick connections between network devices. Its retractable design keeps the 6.50 ft run tidy when not in use, making it suited for mobile technicians or temporary desk setups.

Gold-plated RJ-45 ends on 30 AWG conductors

Both ends terminate in RJ-45 male plugs with gold-plated contacts to resist corrosion and maintain signal integrity. The thin 30 AWG wire allows the cable to coil smoothly into its housing, so it packs flat in a laptop bag without kinking or bulk.

No extra adapters or software required

The package supplies only the retractable cable itself, so there are no driver discs, configuration utilities or additional couplers to manage. Plug both ends into compatible ports and the link is active immediately, leaving no setup steps for the user.

Questions about this item

What bandwidth does the Category 6 rating cap this cable at in practice?

Category 6 supports up to 1 Gbps Ethernet over the full 6.50 ft length; the retractable mechanism does not change that ceiling.

How much clearance does the retractable housing need to fit behind a patch panel or desk grommet?

The housing is a compact reel that adds roughly 45 mm of depth beyond the RJ-45 plug, so allow that much space behind the port.

How do you extend and lock the cable so it stays at the length you need?

Pull both ends until the internal ratchet clicks at the desired length; to retract, give a short tug to release the lock and guide the cable back evenly.
