Cat 6 5-Pack 10 Gbps

This Cat 6 Ethernet cable five-pack supplies 6 ft black RJ45 cords for wired LAN connections. Each cable uses a 24 AWG bare copper core and gold-plated contacts to deliver 10 Gbps data rates up to 550 MHz bandwidth. The snagless strain-relief boots protect the latch during repeated insertion and removal.

Home and office networks needing reliable wired

Suits users who want consistent, secure connectivity for PCs, servers, printers or routers without relying on wireless. Buyers requiring shielded construction for high-interference environments or longer runs beyond the supported distance should consider other cable types.

10 Gbps at 550 MHz over 6 ft

The decisive specification is the 10 Gbps Category 6 rating at 550 MHz across the 6 ft length. If your installation demands higher frequencies, shielding or greater distance, this unshielded Cat 6 assembly will not meet those requirements.

Questions about this item

What speed does the Cat 6 rating actually deliver over this cable?

The Cat 6 cable is rated for 10Gbps data transfer and 550 MHz bandwidth, meeting the TIA/EIA 568-C.2 standard for 10-Gigabit Ethernet.

Will the snagless boots and RJ45 plugs fit a standard keystone jack or patch panel?

Yes, the RJ45 connectors with gold-plated contacts and strain-relief boots are built to standard dimensions for keystone jacks, patch panels and device ports.

Is there a wiring-standard trap when terminating or testing these pre-made cables?

The cables come factory-terminated to the TIA/EIA 568-C.2 pinout; the common mistake is assuming a crossover pinout, but these are straight-through for direct device-to-switch links.
