Ideal for short patching

This one-foot Cat6 patch cable is designed for short network connections. Blue moulded boots allow quick visual identification in dense racks. The cord supports Gigabit and Multi-Gigabit speeds up to 10 Gbps at 250 MHz. It is rated for 100 W Power over Ethernet.

Not for long runs

Installers who need cable lengths beyond a few feet should choose a longer patch lead or bulk cable. The one-foot length cannot span between distant patch panels or wall outlets. Buyers requiring outdoor or plenum-rated jackets must select a different cable type.

Deciding spec

The critical specification is the one-foot length combined with Cat6 250 MHz performance. This determines whether the cord reaches between adjacent ports in a rack or on a desk. Verify the distance before ordering.

Questions about this item

Which length should I choose for a short rack patch?

The 1 ft blue Cat6 patch cord is built for tight rack-to-panel runs where longer cables would create clutter.

What throughput will I actually see with this Cat6 cable?

It supports multi-gigabit speeds of 1, 2.5, 5 and 10 Gbps up to 160 ft, so a 1 ft run will deliver the full negotiated rate of your switch and NIC.

What does the 250 MHz rating limit in practice?

The 250 MHz bandwidth caps the maximum signal frequency, which in turn bounds the cable to 10 Gbps operation up to 160 ft under the Cat6 standard.
