Purpose-built patch cable
This six-inch Cat6 patch cord in purple is made for short Gigabit and Multi-Gigabit Ethernet links where space is tight. It suits installers, technicians and home users who need a reliable jumper between a switch, router, patch panel or PoE device without excess slack.
Snagless design simplifies routing
The snagless boots protect the RJ45 locking tabs during insertion and removal, reducing the chance of a broken clip that would leave the connection loose. Gold-plated contacts resist oxidation, while the 24 AWG stranded copper conductors stay flexible for repeated re-patching in dense racks or wall plates.
Verify port spacing and cable management
Confirm that the six-inch reach matches the distance between your two RJ45 ports, including any cable-management arms or cable-routing guides. The CMG-rated PVC jacket is approved for general-purpose indoor use, so ensure your installation environment does not require plenum or riser ratings.

Questions about this item
How can I verify the cable is delivering the rated 250 MHz bandwidth after installation?
The cable uses 24 AWG stranded 100% copper conductors with gold-plated RJ45 connectors. Use a certified cable tester to confirm 250 MHz performance and continuity across all four pairs.
Does the package include only the 6-inch purple Cat6 patch cord, or are additional couplers or wall plates supplied?
The box contains the single 6-inch purple Cat6 UTP patch cable with snagless RJ45 male connectors on both ends. No couplers, wall plates, or other accessories are included.
Should I choose this 6-inch purple cable or a longer length for a 10 Gbps link up to 160 ft?
This 6-inch cord is designed for short patch connections. For a 10 Gbps run up to 160 ft, select a longer Cat6 cable of the appropriate length rather than this 6-inch version.
