5 ft Cat 6 patch cable for workstation links

This 5 ft Cat 6 patch cable connects a workstation to a wall outlet or patches a hub to a distribution panel. It uses RJ45 connectors on both ends and is built with 24 AWG stranded 100 % copper conductors. The cable is ETL verified and UL rated under file E132276-A.

Cat 6 bandwidth ceiling at 250 MHz

The Cat 6 standard supports up to 250 MHz and enables 1/2.5/5 Gbps and 10 Gbps speeds up to 160 ft. At 5 ft this cable operates well within that limit, but longer runs beyond 160 ft will not sustain 10 Gbps. It does not support frequencies or speeds above the Cat 6 specification.

Molded strain relief and 100 W PoE readiness

Molded boots provide strain relief to protect the RJ45 terminations during repeated insertion and removal. The 100 % copper construction carries up to 100 W Power over Ethernet for devices such as access points or cameras. The black jacket offers a neutral appearance for rack or desk routing.

Questions about this item

Which length of this Cat 6 cable should I pick for a short desk run?

The 5 ft length suits a workstation-to-wall-outlet link or a hub-to-panel patch; choose a longer cable only if the route exceeds that distance.

What real-world speed can I expect from the 250 MHz, 24 AWG copper construction?

It supports Multi-Gigabit 1/2.5/5 Gbps and 10 Gbps up to 160 ft, so a 5 ft run will deliver full 10 Gbps throughput.

Does the RJ45-terminated UTP design handle 100 W PoE and what standard verifies it?

Yes, the 100% copper conductors are rated for 100 W PoE and the cable carries ETL verification (UL E132276-A).
