Home and office networking

This Cat6 patch cable runs 50 ft and is rated for 550 MHz bandwidth, supporting Gigabit Ethernet up to 1000 Mbps. It connects PCs, modems, routers, consoles and other RJ45 devices in residential or commercial settings. The blue jacket makes it easy to identify in a crowded patch panel or floor run.

Sustained throughput

The 550 MHz rating provides headroom for continuous high-bandwidth traffic such as large file transfers, video streaming or backups without the bottlenecks seen on lower-category cables. Gold-plated RJ45 contacts resist corrosion, helping maintain signal integrity over long-term use. Snagless boots protect the locking tab during repeated plugging and unplugging.

Build and daily handling

Flexible, tangle-resistant construction simplifies routing around corners, through trunking or under carpets while keeping the installation tidy. Reinforced connectors and durable materials withstand the physical stress of moves and reconfigurations. Backward compatibility with Cat5 infrastructure means it drops into existing networks without rewiring.

Not for installers needing plenum-rated jackets

Buyers who require fire-rated cable for air-handling spaces will need a different jacket specification. The 50 ft length also limits runs that exceed standard Ethernet distance guidelines.

Questions about this item

Does the 550 MHz Cat6 cable run hot or draw noticeable power when it carries data all day?

The cable is passive copper with gold-plated RJ45 connectors, so it generates no heat and draws no power of its own during continuous use.

What devices must I already have to use the RJ45 connectors on this 50 ft patch cable?

You need equipment with standard RJ45 ports — such as a PC, modem, router, switch or gaming console — at each end of the run.

Will this Cat6 cable work reliably with the older Cat5 jacks still in my wall plates?

Yes, the cable is backwards compatible with Cat5 and Cat5e infrastructure, so it will connect to existing Cat5 wall jacks without issue.
