Ready-to-use Cat6 patch cord

This three-foot orange Cat6 cable arrives terminated with RJ-45 plugs on both ends and is built to the TIA/EIA-568-B.1-2001 T568B wiring standard. It supports multi-gigabit speeds of 1, 2.5, 5 and 10 Gbps at distances up to 160 ft with a 250 MHz bandwidth rating. The 24 AWG stranded 100 percent copper conductors are UL listed under file E132276-A and the CMG-rated PVC jacket meets general-purpose fire requirements.

Check your port spacing and run length

Verify that the RJ-45 ports on your switch, router or device accept standard snagless boots without blocking adjacent ports. Confirm the three-foot reach covers the distance between your two connection points without tension. The cable is rated for 100 W Power over Ethernet, so ensure the connected equipment negotiates PoE within that limit.

Thermals noise and power draw

Passive copper construction produces no audible noise and adds negligible heat to the installation environment. Power consumption is limited to the PoE current negotiated by the endpoints, up to the 100 W rating of the conductors. The snagless boot protects the latch during routine handling without affecting signal integrity.

Questions about this item

What connectors are included on the cable and does it need any extra adapters?

Both ends have RJ-45 male plugs wired to the TIA/EIA-568-B.1-2001 T568B standard, so it plugs straight into any Gigabit or Multi-Gigabit port without adapters.

The spec lists several speeds — which one will I actually get from this 3 ft length?

At 3 ft the cable supports the full 10 Gbps rating as well as 1, 2.5 and 5 Gbps; the 160 ft limit only applies to the 10 Gbps tier.

What does the 250 MHz figure mean for everyday use?

It confirms the cable meets the Cat 6 bandwidth specification, giving headroom for 10 Gbps Ethernet and 100 W Power-over-Ethernet on runs up to 160 ft.
