GigaTrue 3 Cat6 Patch Cable

This two-foot patch cable carries Category 6 UTP wiring terminated with RJ-45 plugs on both ends. It meets ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 Category 6 and ISO/IEC 11801 Class E performance requirements. The grey jacket is rated to IEC 60332-1-2 and EN 50288-5-2 flame standards. UL listing E196163-Y confirms safety compliance.

Suits short desk links; not for long runs

Installers wiring a workstation to a nearby switch or patch panel will find the two-foot length tidy and compliant. Builders who need more reach between cabinets or across rooms should look at something else. The fixed length cannot be adjusted on site, so measure the path before ordering.

Snaps in; watch the latch

Push each RJ-45 plug until the latch clicks into the port for a secure connection. The short cable leaves little slack, so route it without sharp bends that could stress the conductors. A common issue is the latch tab snagging on adjacent cables when pulling the plug out. Depress the tab fully before removal to avoid damage.

Questions about this item

What type of network ports must my devices have for this Cat6 UTP patch cable to connect?

Both devices need RJ-45 ports to accept the male connectors on this cable.

Will this cable support the same speeds as my older Cat5e wiring?

It meets ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 Category 6 and ISO/IEC 11801 Class E, so it handles higher bandwidth than Cat5e.

How can I verify the cable is performing to its rated Category 6 standard after installation?

Use a qualified cable certifier to test the link against the ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 Category 6 parameters.
