5ft Red Cat6 Snagless Patch Cable

This five-foot red Cat6 patch cable uses 24AWG stranded UTP construction rated at 550MHz. It terminates in RJ45 male connectors on both ends with 50-micron gold-plated staggered pins and snagless bubble boots. The cable contains four twisted pairs and meets CM fire rating requirements. It is built for Gigabit Ethernet and 10/100 Base-T networks.

Home and office runs needing a short flexible link

The stranded conductors and snagless boots make this cable easy to route through tight desk grommets, patch panels or wall plates without catching. Builders installing permanent in-wall horizontal cabling should choose solid-conductor cable instead, as stranded patch leads are not rated for that purpose. The 5ft length suits adjacent equipment but will not reach distant outlets.

550MHz bandwidth rating

The 550MHz bandwidth specification is the single figure that determines whether this cable supports the desired throughput on a Cat6 channel. If the installation requires certified performance above that frequency, a higher-category cable is necessary.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the cable is delivering the rated 550 MHz Category 6 performance after I plug it in?

Check that both network interfaces show a Gigabit link speed and run a sustained local file transfer; the 24 AWG stranded conductors with 50 micron gold-plated staggered pins are built to meet the 550 MHz Category 6 spec.

What comes in the package and is anything else required to make a connection?

The box contains the 5 ft red Cat6 patch cable with RJ45 male connectors on both ends; no additional parts are needed for a standard Ethernet link.

Should I choose this 5 ft red version or a different length and colour for my setup?

Pick the 5 ft red cable when you need a short, visible run for Gigabit or 10/100 Base-T; select another length or colour only if the distance or cable management scheme calls for it.
