Comprehensive Cable and Connectivity CAT6-10BLU network ethernet cable 10 ft Blue

Cable Category and Bandwidth

This Category 6 patch cable supports bandwidth up to 550 MHz, meeting all TIA/EIA 568B.2 standards for reliable data transmission. The four twisted-pair 24 AWG conductors handle Gigabit 1000 BASE-T, 100 BASE-T and 10 BASE-T networks alongside Token Ring and voice applications. A moulded snagless boot protects the RJ45 connectors during installation and provides strain relief for lasting performance. The ten-foot blue jacket makes cable identification simple in dense patch panels.

Suitable Installations and Limitations

Installers running horizontal links up to the rated length for Cat 6 will find this cable fits standard gigabit and fast Ethernet switches, routers and wall plates. The snagless boot eases pulls through cable managers and tight pathways without catching. Buyers needing longer runs beyond the specified length, outdoor-rated jackets, shielded construction or higher-category performance such as Cat 6a or Cat 7 should select a different cable type. The unshielded design suits typical indoor office and home environments.

Deciding Specification — 550 MHz Bandwidth Rating

The 550 MHz verified bandwidth is the single figure that determines whether this cable matches the required channel performance. It guarantees support for the listed IEEE 802.3 and 802.5 applications at the full ten-foot length without additional testing. If the network design demands bandwidth above 550 MHz or a different category rating, this cable will not meet that requirement.
