One-foot Cat6 patch cable
This one-foot Cat6 patch cable uses 24AWG stranded pure bare copper conductors with 50µm gold-plated contacts and snagless strain-relief boots. It is built for short runs between a router, switch or wall jack and a desktop, laptop or network appliance.
550 MHz bandwidth and UTP construction
The unshielded twisted-pair design is rated to 550 MHz, supporting gigabit Ethernet and 10-gigabit links up to the distance limits defined by the Cat6 standard. Pure bare copper conductors meet UL 444 and TIA-568-C fire-safety requirements, unlike copper-clad aluminium alternatives.
Replaces shorter or lower-grade patch cords
It upgrades from Cat5e or older Cat6 cables that use 10µm gold plating or copper-clad aluminium wire, delivering higher bandwidth headroom and better corrosion resistance. The jump is worthwhile when installing new gigabit or 10-gigabit drops, or when existing cords show worn contacts or failed certification tests.

Questions about this item
Should I choose the 1 ft black Cat6 550 MHz 24AWG cable or a different length or colour for my setup?
This listing is for the 1 ft black version with 550 MHz bandwidth, 24AWG stranded pure bare copper conductors and 50 µm gold‑plated contacts; other lengths and colours are separate SKUs.
What does the 550 MHz bandwidth mean for actual network speed on this 1 ft cable?
The 550 MHz rating meets the Cat6 standard and provides ample headroom for Gigabit Ethernet and higher‑speed links over this short distance.
How does the RJ45 interface and UTP construction limit performance in practice?
The RJ45 plugs with 50 µm gold contacts and unshielded twisted‑pair design comply with TIA‑568‑C and UL 444, ensuring reliable Cat6 performance without external grounding.
