  • Length10 ft.
  • ColorBlack
  • 10 ft Cat6 cable supports 10 Gbps up to 160 ft

  • 24 AWG stranded copper conductors rated for 500 MHz
  • UL listed and 100 W PoE compliant for reliable power delivery
  • RoHS certified with lifetime limited warranty

Cable length and category

This 10 ft Cat6 patch cable connects network devices with RJ-45 male connectors on both ends. The 24 AWG stranded copper conductors support multi-gigabit speeds of 1, 2.5, 5 and 10 Gbps. Snagless boots protect the connector clips during installation and removal. The black UTP cord is UL rated and RoHS compliant.

Suitable uses and limits

The cable suits home offices, small-business networks and PoE devices drawing up to 100 W. Installers who need longer runs beyond 160 ft for 10 Gbps or who require shielded cable for noisy environments should choose a different type. Buyers needing a crossover wiring standard instead of T568B will also need an alternative product.

Deciding specification

The 250 MHz bandwidth rating determines whether this Cat6 cable meets the performance ceiling for your 2.5 Gbps or 5 Gbps switch ports. If your equipment demands 500 MHz or higher for 10 Gbps over the full 100 m channel, this 10 ft segment alone will not satisfy that requirement.

Questions about this item

Will the 10 ft Cat6 cable reach my router if I keep my existing wall jack?

The cable measures 10 ft end to end and has RJ-45 male plugs on both ends so it connects directly from a wall jack or patch panel to a PC or switch.

How can I verify the link is running at the rated 500 MHz after I plug it in?

Check the link speed in your operating system or switch management; a solid 1 Gbps or 2.5 Gbps connection confirms the 24 AWG copper pairs are performing to the Cat6 500 MHz rating.

Does the box include only the cable or are mounting clips supplied as well?

The package contains the single 10 ft snagless Cat6 patch cord with RJ-45 clip protectors already fitted; no additional brackets or ties are included.
