High-Performance Cat 6 Ethernet Cable

This 3ft Cat 6 ethernet cable uses 24 AWG bare copper conductors and gold-plated RJ45 connectors to deliver reliable wired connectivity. It is built for PCs, servers, printers, routers and other LAN components that need consistent throughput. Snagless strain-relief boots protect the connectors during repeated plugging and unplugging. The cable meets or exceeds the TIA/EIA 568-C.2 Category 6 standard.

Ideal for 10Gbps LAN and PoE++ Devices

It suits homes, offices and data centres that run up to 10Gbps Ethernet or need PoE++ power delivery to cameras and access points. The 550MHz bandwidth headroom also supports slower 10/100/1000 Mbps gear without configuration changes. Buyers who require shielded cable for high-interference environments should look at a different construction. Runs longer than the standard channel limit will need a higher-grade or shielded solution.

550MHz Bandwidth Rating Determines Maximum Speed

The single figure that decides whether this cable fits the job is its 550MHz bandwidth rating. That rating underpins the 10Gbps capability over short links and guarantees backward compatibility with existing Fast Ethernet and Gigabit networks. If the installation demands frequencies above 550MHz or certified performance beyond the Category 6 standard, this cable will not meet the requirement.

Questions about this item

How do I verify the cable is delivering 10 Gbps throughput after connecting it?

Check the link speed in your operating system or router interface; it should report a 10 Gbps connection when both ends support 10GBASE-T.

What comes in the package and do I need any extra connectors?

The box contains the 3 ft Cat 6 patch cord with gold-plated RJ45 plugs on both ends; no additional connectors are required.

Which length and gauge should I select for a 10 Gbps home run?

This 3 ft, 24 AWG bare-copper cable is rated for 550 MHz bandwidth and supports 10 Gbps up to its full length.
