Cat6 550 MHz cable for wired networking

This Cat6 patch cable uses 24AWG stranded pure copper conductors and 50µm gold-plated RJ45 contacts. It is wired to the TIA/EIA-568B standard and rated for 550 MHz bandwidth. The black jacket and snagless strain-relief boots suit home, office or rack installations.

Fits standard RJ45 ports and frees wireless spectrum

Plug the RJ45 connectors into any gigabit switch, router, modem or network card with a matching port. The pure copper construction meets UL 444 and TIA-568-C.2 fire-safety requirements for in-wall runs. A wired link removes contention from Wi-Fi channels and eliminates radio interference.

Handles gigabit speeds

The 550 MHz rating comfortably carries 1 Gbps traffic at full 100 m distance and supports 10 Gbps up to the shorter limit defined by the 10GBASE-T standard. Beyond that distance the cable runs out of margin for multi-gigabit rates, so longer 10G links need a higher-category cable.

Questions about this item

Will the 550 MHz bandwidth hold up during long transfers?

The cable is rated for 550 MHz and uses 24 AWG pure bare copper conductors to maintain signal integrity over its length.

Does the jacket or connectors get warm when the link runs all day?

Passive copper cables do not generate measurable heat; the 24 AWG stranded conductors and gold-plated contacts stay at ambient temperature during continuous use.

What devices must I already have to use this cable?

You need two pieces of equipment with RJ45 ports — such as a router, switch, PC, NAS or game console — to plug each end into.
