6-inch Cat6 patch cable

This 6-inch orange Cat6 patch cable carries Ethernet signals between two RJ-45 ports. It supports 1, 2.5, 5 and 10 Gbps links and handles up to 100 W of Power over Ethernet. The short length suits rack-to-rack or panel-to-device runs where excess slack is unwanted.

Snagless boots and gold-plated contacts

Snagless moulded boots protect the locking tabs during frequent insertion and removal. Gold-plated contacts resist oxidation for reliable conductivity over time. The T568B wiring standard ensures compatibility with standard patch panels and network equipment.

PVC jacket and CMG fire rating

The PVC jacket meets CMG general-purpose fire rating requirements for in-wall or plenum-adjacent routing where local code permits. Stranded 24 AWG copper conductors keep the cable flexible for tight bends behind panels. Shielding is not included, so the cord is best used in low-interference indoor environments.

Questions about this item

Will the RJ-45 connectors need replacement after repeated plugging?

Snagless boots protect the locking tabs from breaking, and gold-plated contacts resist corrosion through many insertion cycles.

What bandwidth limit appears first when running 10 Gbps over this cable?

At 6 inches the 500 MHz Cat6 rating supports 10 Gbps well within the 160 ft channel limit, so connector quality becomes the practical ceiling.

Does the cable warm up or draw extra power during continuous PoE use?

24 AWG 100 % copper conductors handle the full 100 W PoE budget with negligible temperature rise over this short length.
