Five-Cable Pack for Wired Networks

This five-pack of Cat 6 Ethernet cables provides ready-to-use wired connectivity for homes, offices and data centres. Each 6 ft cable uses 24 AWG bare copper conductors and gold-plated RJ45 plugs to link PCs, servers, printers, routers, IP cameras, VoIP phones and network storage. The snagless strain-relief boots protect the connector latch during frequent moves.

Upgrade from Cat 5e to 10 Gigabit Ready

These cables meet the TIA/EIA 568-C.2 Category 6 standard and are rated for 550 MHz bandwidth, enabling 10 Gbps (10GBASE-T) speeds while remaining fully backwards compatible with existing 10, 100 and 1000 Mbps networks. The jump is worth it when you need headroom for 10 Gigabit Ethernet or plan to run PoE, PoE+ or PoE++ power to access points and cameras over the same run.

Unshielded Design and Distance Limits

As unshielded twisted-pair cables they are best suited to typical indoor environments without heavy electromagnetic interference. The Category 6 standard supports 10 Gbps only up to 55 metres; beyond that length the maximum speed drops to 1 Gbps. For longer 10 Gbps runs or electrically noisy installations a shielded or higher-category cable would be required.

Questions about this item

What size RJ45 port does the 6 ft Cat 6 cable plug into?

The cable uses standard RJ45 connectors that fit any 8P8C Ethernet jack on routers, switches, PCs, servers, printers, IP cameras, VoIP phones or network storage devices.

How do you seat the RJ45 plugs without damaging the snagless boots, and what is the common mistake?

Push each connector straight in until the tab clicks; the error is pulling the cable by the cord instead of the boot, which can bend the gold-plated contacts.

When should the 24 AWG bare copper patch cords be replaced in a PoE++ installation?

Replace them if the boots crack, the tabs break off, or the connectors show corrosion, because damaged contacts can interrupt both data and the higher PoE++ current.
