CableMAX 9ft Yellow Cat6 Patch Cable

This nine-foot yellow Cat6 patch cable uses stranded 24AWG UTP construction rated at 550 MHz. It terminates in RJ45 male connectors with 50-micron gold plating and a staggered pin layout to limit cross-talk. Snagless bubble boots protect the latch during routing. The cable meets or exceeds Category 6 EIA/TIA specifications and carries a CM fire rating.

Upgrade from Cat5e or Cat5 links

The cable is backwards compatible with Category 5e and Category 5 infrastructure. Replacing older patch cords with this Cat6 assembly restores full Category 6 performance across the link. The jump is worth it when the network path already supports Gigabit Ethernet and the existing cables are the bottleneck. No benefit appears if the switch or NIC remains limited to 10/100 Base-T.

Handles Gigabit Ethernet with headroom

The 550 MHz bandwidth rating provides comfortable headroom for 10/100 Base-T and Gigabit Ethernet traffic. Four twisted pairs carry the signal with reduced cross-talk thanks to the staggered connector pins. Performance runs out when the installation demands shielded cable for noisy environments or when runs exceed the standard channel length for Category 6. The unshielded design is not suited for high-EMI industrial settings.

Questions about this item

What depth behind an RJ45 jack is needed for the moulded bubble boot on this 9 ft Cat6 cable?

The moulded bubble boot on each end extends past the RJ45 body, so allow enough clearance behind the port for the boot to sit without bending the cable sharply.

Which wiring standard do the staggered-pin RJ45 connectors follow for a straight-through patch?

The connectors are terminated to the TIA 568B pinout, giving a standard straight-through Cat6 patch cable for Gigabit Ethernet.

When should this stranded UTP patch cable be replaced in a permanent installation?

Replace it if the bubble boots tear, the gold-plated contacts show wear, or the cable sheath is kinked, since stranded 24 AWG conductors fatigue faster than solid-core cable.
