12 ft Cat6 Gigabit Patch Cable

This 12-foot red Cat6 patch cable provides reliable Gigabit Ethernet connections with Power over Ethernet support. It is suited for standard networking tasks such as linking a wall jack to a laptop dock or desktop computer. The cable uses 100% copper conductors for consistent signal quality. Snagless RJ45 connectors protect the locking clips during installation.

Cat6 Practical Limits

The Cat6 standard supports Gigabit speeds up to 100 metres, making this 12 ft length well within the distance limit for full performance. The PVC jacket carries a CMG fire rating for general-purpose indoor use. Gold-plated contacts resist corrosion to maintain conductivity over time. Molded strain-relief boots prevent sharp bends at the termination points.

Snagless Connector Design

The snagless RJ45 clips shield the locking tabs from catching on adjacent cables or equipment during routing. This reduces the risk of broken clips that can cause intermittent connections or complete link failure. The feature is valuable for installations where cables are pulled through tight spaces or rearranged periodically. Builders who need shielded cables for high-interference environments should select a different product.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 12 ft red Cat6 cable or a different length or color?

Choose the 12 ft red version when the run from the wall jack to the device measures roughly that distance and you want red for color-coding; other lengths and colors exist for different runs or coding schemes.

What does the Cat6 rating deliver once the cable is plugged into my network?

The Cat6 construction supports reliable Gigabit Ethernet speeds and carries Power over Ethernet, so connected devices receive both data and power over the single run.

How do the RJ45 connectors and CMG rating affect what I can do with the cable?

Gold-plated snagless RJ45 plugs with molded boots resist clip breakage and strain, while the CMG-rated PVC jacket is approved for general-purpose in-wall or floor installations.
