  • Gold-plated contacts resist corrosion for reliable signals
  • Snagless boot protects the RJ-45 clip during frequent plugging
  • Stranded 26 AWG conductors stay flexible for tight routing
  • 250 MHz Cat6 rating supports gigabit network speeds

What this cable is

This Black Box Innovations Cat6 patch cable is a three-foot stranded copper lead with RJ-45 plugs on both ends. Gold-plated contacts and a snagless moulded boot protect the connection during repeated insertion. It is built for linking network devices in home, office or rack environments.

Who it suits and who it does not

The cable suits anyone needing a short, RoHS-compliant Cat6 link for switches, routers, patch panels or workstations. Buyers who require longer runs, crossover wiring, shielded construction or higher-category performance should look at other options.

The specification that decides fit

The 26 AWG stranded conductors set the cable’s flexibility and maximum recommended channel length. Verify that gauge against your installation standards before purchasing.

Questions about this item

Will the 26 AWG stranded conductors and RJ-45 male plugs work with my existing Cat5e wall jacks and switch ports?

Yes, the RJ-45 male connectors are backward compatible with Cat5e jacks and the 26 AWG stranded design maintains flexibility for tight patch-panel routing.

How can I verify the 250 MHz Cat6 rating is actually delivering gigabit speeds after I plug it in?

Check the link lights on both switch ports show 1 Gbps and run a local file transfer or iperf test to confirm sustained throughput near 1 Gbps.

Does the 3 ft blue patch cable include any clips, ties or mounting hardware, or is it just the cable with moulded snagless boots?

Only the cable with gold-plated RJ-45 male ends and moulded snagless boots is supplied; no extra clips, ties or mounting hardware are included.
