Cat 6 Ethernet Cable for LAN Devices

This Cat 6 ethernet cable provides universal connectivity for LAN network components such as PCs, servers, printers, and routers. It uses a 24 AWG copper wire core to ensure reliable and fast network connections. The cable is backwards compatible with any existing Cat 5 cable network for easy integration.

Sustained 10Gbps Bandwidth at 550 MHz

The cable meets or exceeds Category 6 performance according to the TIA/EIA 568-C.2 standard. It delivers higher bandwidth at a Cat5e price point and is future-proof for 10-Gigabit Ethernet applications. Bare copper conductors maintain consistent signal integrity over the full length.

Gold-Plated Contacts and Strain-Relief Boots

Connectors feature gold-plated contacts and strain-relief boots for enhanced durability during repeated insertion cycles. The snagless design protects the locking tab from damage when routing through tight spaces. This construction provides a more secure and reliable connection than wireless alternatives.

Questions about this item

Does the 24 AWG copper core generate noticeable heat when the link runs at 10 Gbps all day?

The cable is passive copper with no active components, so it produces no measurable heat during continuous 10 Gbps operation.

What equipment must I already have to use the RJ45 connectors on this 20 ft Cat 6 cable?

Any device with a standard RJ45 Ethernet port — PC, server, printer, router, switch or NAS — will accept the connectors directly.

Will this Cat 6 cable work reliably alongside my existing Cat 5e patch cords in the same network?

Yes, it is backwards compatible with Cat 5e and meets the TIA/EIA 568-C.2 standard, so mixed-category runs perform at the lowest common speed.
