3 ft Red Cat6 UTP Patch Cable

This 3 ft Cat6 UTP patch cable is built for gigabit and multi-gigabit Ethernet links in home offices, small-business networks or rack-mounted gear. Molded snag-less connectors and strain relief protect the plug ends during frequent moves or tight cable-management runs. The red jacket gives quick visual identification among other patch cords in a crowded panel. ETL verification and UL-rated 24 AWG stranded copper confirm the cable meets industry performance baselines.

Suits short patch links.

The three-foot length fits switch-to-patch-panel or device-to-wall-plate connections inside a single cabinet or desk cluster. Buyers who need longer horizontal runs, in-wall rated jackets, or shielded construction for noisy electrical environments should look at different cable types. The PVC jacket is not rated for plenum spaces or direct burial, so installers working to those codes must choose alternative products.

250 MHz bandwidth enables 10 Gbps up to 160 ft

Rated at 250 MHz, the cable supports 1, 2.5, 5 and 10 Gbps speeds over distances up to 160 ft per the manufacturer highlights. The 24 AWG 100 percent copper conductors also carry up to 100 W Power-over-Ethernet for compatible access points, cameras or VoIP phones. ETL verification and UL file E132276-A provide third-party confirmation of the electrical performance claims.

Questions about this item

Is 3 ft the right length for a desk-to-switch run or should I choose a longer cable?

At 3 ft this cable suits short connections such as a laptop to a dock or a wall jack to a nearby switch; measure your route and add slack before deciding.

The headline mentions 10 Gbps up to 160 ft — what speed will I actually see on a 3 ft link?

Over 3 ft the Cat 6 cable supports the full 10 Gbps rate because the run is far below the 160 ft distance limit for 10G operation.

The spec lists 250 MHz and 24 AWG stranded copper — what do those figures cap in real use?

250 MHz bandwidth and 24 AWG stranded 100 % copper conductors allow 10 Gbps up to 160 ft and 100 W Power over Ethernet on this 3 ft patch cord.
