High-Performance Cat 6 Ethernet Cable

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 for home, office, or data center environments.

10-Gigabit Bandwidth at 550 MHz

The cable meets or exceeds Category 6 performance according to the TIA/EIA 568-C.2 standard. It is rated for 10 Gbps data transfer speeds at frequencies up to 550 MHz and remains backwards compatible with existing Cat 5 cable networks.

14ft Length for Standard Runs

The 14-foot length suits typical desktop-to-router or patch-panel connections within a single room. Gold-plated contacts and strain-relief boots enhance durability, while bare copper conductors comply with communication cable specifications for consistent signal integrity.

Questions about this item

What does the 10 Gbps rating mean when the cable is connected to a typical home router?

The cable supports up to 10 Gbps over its full 14 ft length, so a router with a 10 GbE port can use the full bandwidth; slower ports will simply run at their own maximum speed.

The cable is listed as Cat 6 with 550 MHz frequency — what does that cap in practice?

The 550 MHz bandwidth allows 10 Gbps Ethernet up to the rated distance and remains fully backward compatible with Cat 5e and slower equipment.

Will the 24 AWG conductors and RJ45 plugs fit a standard keystone jack or wall plate?

Yes, the 24 AWG solid copper conductors terminate in standard RJ45 connectors that snap into any keystone jack, wall plate or patch panel designed for Cat 6.
