Cables To Go 04027 Cat6 network ethernet cable purple 6 ft 1.82 m

6 ft Cat6 patch cable

This six-foot Cat6 patch cable connects computers, routers, switches and patch panels using RJ-45 male connectors at each end. The purple jacket makes the run easy to identify in a crowded rack or behind a desk. Snagless boots protect the locking tabs during repeated insertion and removal. It is suited to home offices, small-business networks and any installation needing a short, colour-coded link.

Snagless unshielded construction

The snagless moulded boots prevent the connector tabs from catching on adjacent cables or panel openings, reducing the chance of broken clips during moves or maintenance. Because the cable is unshielded UTP, it remains flexible for tight bends behind furniture or inside cable-management trays. The purple colour coding helps technicians trace specific circuits without adding separate labels. No additional software or drivers are required for operation.

Cat6 bandwidth ceiling

Cat6 specification supports gigabit Ethernet up to one hundred metres, so a six-foot run is well within the distance limit for full-speed operation. The unshielded design means the cable can be more susceptible to electromagnetic interference in electrically noisy environments such as industrial machinery rooms. Installers needing alien-crosstalk immunity or outdoor burial ratings will require a different cable construction. The fixed 1.82 metre length cannot be extended without adding a coupler or switch.
