Cat6 550 MHz patch cable

This Cat6 patch cable connects two RJ45 ports for voice, data and video distribution. It is suited to home-office desks, small-office patch panels or any short-run link that needs certified Cat6 performance. The 5 ft length keeps cable management tidy without excess slack.

Bonded-pair construction reduces crosstalk

Each twisted pair is bonded to preserve twist spacing up to the connector, which minimises near-end crosstalk during sustained traffic. The design meets TIA/EIA-568-B-2.1 draft 9 requirements and cuts impedance and structural return loss well below standard 100 MHz wire levels. Snagless boots add strain relief for repeated reconnections.

Cat6 bandwidth ceiling at 550 MHz

The Cat6 standard caps usable bandwidth at 550 MHz, so this cable cannot support the higher frequencies defined for Cat6a or Cat7 classes. Runs longer than the installed 5 ft would increase attenuation and may push the link outside the guaranteed margin for 10 GbE speeds. Shielding is not present, so environments with strong EMI need a different cable type.

FeaturesFor voice/data/video distribution, this cable will handle bandwidth-intensive applications up to 550MHz.
Meets all Cat6 TIA/EIA-568-B-2.1, draft 9 standards, and drastically reduces both impedance and structural return loss (SRL) when compared to standard 100MHz wire.
Each of the individual pairs is bonded together to help maintain the twist-spacing throughout the line right up to the termination point.
Constructed from high-quality cable and a shortened body plug, this design minimizes Near-End Crosstalk (NEXT) levels.
The molded, snagless boot prevents unwanted cable snags during i

Questions about this item

How much heat or power does the 5 ft Cat6 cable draw when it runs all day?

The cable is passive and carries only network signals, so it generates no measurable heat and draws no power of its own.

What devices must already have RJ45 ports for this 5 ft patch cable to work?

Both ends use RJ45 male connectors, so you need two devices — such as a router, switch, PC or IP camera — each with an RJ45 jack.

Will the 550 MHz Cat6 cable work reliably with older 100 MHz Cat5e equipment still in the rack?

Yes, the cable meets Cat6 TIA/EIA-568-B-2.1 draft 9 standards and is fully backward compatible with 100 MHz Cat5e hardware.
