Short Red Cat6 Patch Cable

This two-foot red Cat6 patch cable uses 24 AWG stranded copper conductors and moulded RJ-45 plugs on both ends. It is rated for 250 MHz bandwidth and supports multi-gigabit speeds up to 10 Gbps over short distances. The UL-listed jacket and ETL verification make it suitable for permanent or temporary installations.

Ideal for Dense Rack Links, Not Long Runs

The short length suits server racks, patch panels and desk-side connections where excess cable would block airflow. Builders needing runs longer than 160 ft or outdoor-rated jackets should select a different cable type.

Fits Standard RJ-45 Ports and PoE Gear

The cable plugs directly into any RJ-45 jack on switches, routers, servers or IP cameras. It carries up to 100 W of Power over Ethernet, so separate power adapters for compatible devices are not required.

Questions about this item

Does this cable need a special RJ-45 port on my switch or router, or will it plug into the standard ones I already have?

It uses standard RJ-45 male connectors on both ends, so it plugs directly into any Gigabit or Multi-Gigabit RJ-45 port on a switch, router, or network card without adapters.

If I mix this Cat 6 cable with older Cat 5e patch cords in the same run, will the link still negotiate 1 Gbps or higher speeds?

Yes, the link auto-negotiates to the highest common speed; Cat 5e segments support 1 Gbps, while this cable is rated for 2.5 Gbps, 5 Gbps, and 10 Gbps up to 160 ft at 250 MHz.

How can I verify the cable is delivering its rated Multi-Gigabit performance after I install it?

Check the link speed LED on the switch or run a speed test between two endpoints; a negotiated rate of 2.5 Gbps, 5 Gbps, or 10 Gbps confirms the 24 AWG stranded copper and 250 MHz bandwidth are functioning correctly.
