50 ft Cat6 snagless patch cable

This 50 ft red Cat6 UTP patch cable uses 24 AWG stranded 100% copper conductors with 50-micron gold RJ45 connectors. Molded snagless boots protect the latch during installation and removal. ETL verification confirms the cable meets Category 6 performance requirements. It is suited for home offices, small business networks and temporary cross-room links.

Sustained throughput and crosstalk control

The cable is constructed and tested to minimise Near End Crosstalk across the full 250 MHz bandwidth. It supports 1 Gbps Ethernet at 650 MHz and multi-gigabit rates of 2.5 and 5 Gbps plus 10 Gbps up to 160 ft. PoE loads up to 100 W are carried without degradation over the 50 ft run.

Upgrade from Cat5e or shorter runs

Replaces Cat5e patch cords when 2.5 Gbps or 5 Gbps switches are deployed or when PoE+ devices demand 100 W delivery. The 50 ft length covers desk-to-switch distances that shorter cables cannot reach without couplers. The jump is worth it when existing cables limit link speed or power budget.

Questions about this item

Does the 24 AWG copper construction generate noticeable heat when carrying 100 W PoE all day?

The 24 AWG 100 % copper conductors are rated for 100 W PoE and run cool under continuous load.

What devices must I already have to use the RJ45 male connectors on this 50 ft cable?

Any equipment with standard RJ45 ports — switches, routers, PCs, NAS units, IP cameras or PoE injectors — will plug straight in.

Will this Cat6 250 MHz cable work reliably with my older Cat5e patch panel and 1 Gbps switch?

Yes, it is backward compatible with Category 5e and Category 6 applications and supports 1 Gbps Ethernet on legacy gear.
