Five-colour Cat 6 cable set

This pack contains five seven-foot Cat 6 Ethernet cables in black, blue, green, red and white. The colour coding simplifies cable management and port identification in home offices, small business networks or temporary test setups. Each cable uses 24 AWG bare copper conductors with gold-plated RJ45 contacts and strain-relief boots. The product is new and ready for immediate deployment.

Check your ports and required length

Verify that the devices you intend to connect have standard RJ45 ports and that a seven-foot run reaches between them without tension. The cables are rated for 10 Gigabit Ethernet and a bandwidth of 550 MHz, so confirm your switch, router or NIC supports those speeds to benefit fully. They meet the TIA/EIA 568-C.2 Category 6 specification and are backwards compatible with existing Cat 5 installations. No shielding is included, so assess nearby electromagnetic interference sources.

Fits standard RJ45 equipment

Plug directly into PCs, servers, printers, routers, switches, NAS units, VoIP phones or PoE devices — no adapters or configuration required. The wired link removes contention from Wi-Fi channels and provides a more consistent latency for cloud computing, video surveillance and high-definition streaming. Snagless boots protect the latch during frequent reconnection, while the flexible jacket eases routing through trunking or underfloor trays.

Questions about this item

Does the 7 ft pack include all five colours or do I need to order extra cables?

The pack contains five cables — black, blue, green, red and white — so every colour is in the box and nothing else is required.

How do I decide between this Cat 6 cable and the Cat 6A or Cat 8 models in the comparison?

Choose this Cat 6 cable for 10 Gbps at 550 MHz; the Cat 6A model 160012 adds S/FTP shielding at the same speed, while Cat 8 model 160051 reaches 40 Gbps at 2000 MHz.

Will the 550 MHz rating actually deliver 10 Gbps on my home router?

The cable supports 10 Gbps up to 550 MHz; real-world throughput depends on your router, switch and NIC all being 10 Gbps capable.
