100 ft Cat6 Ethernet cable

This 100 ft Cat6 patch cord uses 24 AWG stranded copper conductors rated for 250 MHz bandwidth. It supports Multi-Gigabit speeds of 1, 2.5, 5 and 10 Gbps up to 160 ft. The cable is UL listed (E132276-A) and delivers up to 100 W Power over Ethernet. Blue jacket and snagless RJ45 male connectors complete the assembly.

Suited for long PoE runs.

The stranded conductors and patch-cord construction make this cable ideal for workstation links, access-point drops and PoE camera runs up to 100 ft where flexibility matters. It is not rated for riser or plenum spaces, so installers needing fire-rated cable for permanent in-wall or between-floor routing should select a solid-conductor alternative.

Stable throughput on extended PoE loads

The 24 AWG 100 % copper core maintains signal integrity at 250 MHz across the full 100 ft length, keeping near-end crosstalk within Cat6 limits during sustained 10 Gbps traffic. Molded strain relief and snagless boots protect the RJ45 contacts from fatigue when the cable carries continuous 100 W PoE current, preventing the intermittent disconnects that lighter cables exhibit under prolonged thermal stress.

Questions about this item

What devices must I already have to use the RJ45 connectors on this cable?

You need two pieces of equipment that each provide a standard RJ45 port — for example a router, switch, PC, NAS or IP camera — so the male plugs on both ends can seat securely.

Will the 250 MHz Cat 6 rating and 24 AWG copper conductors work with my older 100 Mbps switch and 1 Gbps router?

Yes — the cable is fully backward compatible; it will negotiate the highest speed both ends support, so a 100 Mbps link runs at 100 Mbps and a 1 Gbps link runs at 1 Gbps without any configuration.

How can I verify the 100 ft run is delivering the rated 2.5 or 5 Gbps throughput after I plug it in?

Run a local throughput test such as iperf3 between two 2.5 Gbps or 5 Gbps NICs connected by the cable; sustained results near the port speed confirm the link is operating at the rated Multi-Gigabit performance.
