Six-foot Cat6 patch cable
This six-foot white Cat6 patch cable uses 24 AWG stranded copper conductors with gold-plated RJ45 connectors on both ends. The CMG-rated PVC jacket meets general-purpose fire requirements and the snagless boot protects the latch during repeated insertions. It is built for indoor connections between a computer, router, switch or patch panel.
Upgrade from Cat5e or older Cat6 runs
Replacing a Cat5e cable with this Cat6 link raises the usable bandwidth to 500 MHz and supports multi-gigabit rates of 1, 2.5, 5 and 10 Gbps at distances up to 160 feet. The improvement is worth it when the network gear negotiates 2.5 Gbps or higher and the existing cable is the bottleneck.
Fits standard RJ45 ports with no shielding needed
The unshielded twisted-pair design plugs directly into any standard RJ45 jack without requiring grounded shielded ports or special tooling. Gold plating resists oxidation in humid environments, while the 100 W PoE rating means the same cable can carry power to access points or cameras. Builders who need shielded cable, outdoor rating or lengths beyond six feet should select a different model.

Questions about this item
What RJ-45 connector size does this 6 ft Cat6 cable use for a standard Ethernet port?
It uses two 8P8C RJ-45 male connectors wired to the TIA/EIA-568-B.1-2001 T568B standard, which fit any standard Gigabit or Multi-Gigabit Ethernet jack.
How do I avoid damaging the snagless boot when routing the cable through a tight patch panel?
Push the connector straight in until the boot clicks; never rock it side-to-side, because the moulded snagless boot locks the latch and can snap if forced at an angle.
When should I replace this CMG-rated PVC cable if it stays in a 100 W PoE installation?
Inspect the jacket yearly for heat discolouration or cracking; replace it if the PVC shows brittleness, because 100 W PoE can accelerate ageing on a CMG-rated 24 AWG stranded copper run.
