Cables To Go 15274 Cat 6 network ethernet cable 50 ft Gray

50 ft Cat 6 patch cable

This 50 ft Category 6 patch cable connects network devices such as modems, routers and switches using RJ-45 male connectors on both ends. The gray jacket uses plenum-rated construction that meets building-code requirements for routing above dropped ceilings or under raised floors in commercial environments. Gold-plated contacts and a design that minimises near-end crosstalk support reliable signal integrity.

Upgrade from Cat 5e wiring

The cable is rated for bandwidth-intensive applications up to 350 MHz and meets TIA 568-C.2 standards, reducing impedance and structural return loss compared with standard 100 MHz wire. Installers choose this length when existing Cat 5e runs cannot deliver the headroom needed for gigabit Ethernet or PoE devices across longer drops. The plenum jacket also satisfies fire-safety regulations that general-purpose PVC cables do not.

Handles gigabit and PoE loads

At 50 ft the link comfortably supports 1 Gbps Ethernet and Power over Ethernet endpoints such as access points and IP cameras without additional signal conditioning. Runs beyond 100 m total channel length or installations requiring 10 Gbps over copper will exceed the cable's rated headroom and need a higher-category or shorter solution. The lifetime warranty and RoHS compliance reflect the manufacturer's confidence in long-term performance.
