Cables To Go 31344 Cat6 network ethernet cable 5 ft Green

5 ft Cat6 patch cable for gigabit networks

This five-foot Cat6 patch cable connects two RJ45 ports for fast Ethernet or gigabit data, voice and video distribution. The 24 AWG stranded copper conductors use bonded pairs to keep twist spacing consistent to the termination point. Gold-plated contacts at 50 micron resist corrosion and maintain low resistance over repeated insertions. The green PVC jacket helps colour-code network runs.

Snagless boot and bonded pairs reduce installation

A moulded snagless boot stops the locking tab from catching on adjacent cables during routing or removal. Bonded pair construction preserves pair geometry right up to the connector, limiting near-end crosstalk and structural return loss. Gold-plated RJ45 pins improve mating reliability in patch panels and switch ports. The unshielded UTP design keeps the cable flexible for tight cabinet bends.

Cat6 TIA/EIA-568-B-2.1 draft 9 limits maximum run

The Category 6 standard referenced supports gigabit speeds up to one hundred metres, but this assembly is only five feet long. Longer permanent links require solid-conductor horizontal cable and proper termination practices not covered by a pre-terminated patch cord. Shielded environments or PoE applications above standard power budgets may demand different cable construction. Always verify total channel length against the installed cabling standard.
