100 ft Cat6 UTP patch cable
This 100 ft yellow Cat6 cable uses 24 AWG stranded 100% copper conductors rated for 250 MHz bandwidth. It supports multi-gigabit speeds of 1, 2.5, 5 and 10 Gbps up to 160 ft and handles 100 W PoE. Molded snagless connectors with 50-micron gold contacts and molded strain relief reduce near-end crosstalk. ETL verified and UL rated.
Suited for permanent gigabit and multi-gigabit runs
Installers needing a single 100 ft UTP run for 1 Gbps to 10 Gbps links with PoE will find the length and wire gauge appropriate. Buyers who require shielded cable for noisy environments or shorter pre-made lengths for patch panels should look at other options. The solid yellow jacket aids visual identification in dense cable trays.
Simple RJ45 plug-in installation
Both ends terminate in standard RJ45 plugs with snagless boots that release easily from crowded switch ports. No tools or field termination are required. The stranded conductors stay flexible for routing around corners, though the 100 ft length adds bulk that can complicate tight cabinet management. Excess slack should be coiled loosely to avoid kinks.

Questions about this item
What network port does my device need to use the RJ45 connectors on this cable?
Your device needs a standard RJ45 Ethernet port, which is found on most routers, switches, PCs, and network-attached storage units.
Will this Cat6 cable work if I connect it to my older Cat5e patch panel and router?
Yes, the cable is backward compatible with Category 5e applications, so it will link at the highest speed both ends support.
How can I confirm the 24 AWG copper conductors are delivering the rated 250 MHz performance after installation?
Run a cable certifier or a multi-gigabit throughput test between the two connected devices; a clean 1 Gbps or 2.5 Gbps link with low error counts indicates the cable meets spec.
