Five-Pack Cat 6 Patch Cables

This five-pack of Cat 6 ethernet cables provides 10 Gbps rated connectivity for wired LAN components such as PCs, servers, printers and routers. Each cable uses 24 AWG bare copper conductors with gold-plated RJ45 contacts and strain-relief boots for durable connections. The cables are backwards compatible with existing Cat 5 network infrastructure. They suit home, office and data centre installations requiring multiple secure links.

10 Gbps at 550 MHz Bandwidth

The single specification that decides suitability is the 10 Gbps data rate supported at 550 MHz frequency. This meets or exceeds the TIA/EIA 568-C.2 Category 6 standard for 10-Gigabit Ethernet over the certified distance. Buyers needing 40 Gbps throughput or 2000 MHz operation should select a higher category cable instead.

Snagless RJ45 Connectors for Dense Patching

Snagless boots protect the locking tabs when routing cables through crowded patch panels or switch ports, reducing accidental disconnects. Gold-plated contacts resist corrosion for long-term signal integrity. The unshielded construction keeps the cables flexible for tight bends behind racks or desks. No shield grounding or special termination tools are required.

Questions about this item

What does the 10Gbps rating mean once the cable is plugged into a real network?

The cable supports up to 10 Gigabit Ethernet speeds when connected to compatible 10GbE ports and switches, delivering full bandwidth over its 4ft length.

How does the Cat 6 standard and 550 MHz frequency cap practical performance?

Cat 6 with 550 MHz bandwidth meets the TIA/EIA 568-C.2 specification, enabling 10Gbps operation up to 55 metres and full backwards compatibility with Cat 5e networks.

What physical features ensure the cable fits securely into standard RJ45 ports?

Snagless boots protect the locking tab during insertion and removal, while gold-plated contacts and strain-relief mouldings maintain a tight, durable connection in any RJ45 jack.
