7 ft Cat6 patch cable
This seven-foot Category 6 patch cable uses 24 AWG stranded copper conductors with gold-plated RJ-45 connectors on each end. The snagless boot protects the release tab during installation and removal. ETL verification and UL listing confirm compliance with ANSI/TIA-568-B and CMG flame ratings. It is suited for connecting workstations, switches or patch panels in structured wiring systems.
Sustained throughput on long runs
The cable is rated for 10 Gbps operation up to 160 ft and supports 2.5 Gbps and 5 Gbps multi-gigabit speeds over the same distance. At 250 MHz bandwidth, near-end crosstalk remains minimised across the full length, so sustained file transfers and PoE loads stay stable without the errors that appear on lower-spec cables under continuous load. Stranded conductors also resist fatigue when the cord is moved or rerouted.
Practical limits of the Cat6 standard
Category 6 guarantees 10 Gbps only to 160 ft; beyond that distance the standard drops to 1 Gbps, so runs approaching 100 m need Cat6a or fibre. The CMG jacket meets general in-wall fire codes but is not rated for plenum spaces, so it cannot be used in air-handling ceilings without conduit. PoE delivery is supported up to 100 W per the UL rating on the 24 AWG copper.

Questions about this item
Does the 24 AWG stranded copper construction and PVC jacket stay cool when carrying 100 W PoE continuously?
The 24 AWG 100 % copper conductors are rated for 100 W PoE, so heat rise remains within Cat 6 limits during all-day operation.
What devices must already have RJ‑45 ports for this cable to work?
Any two network devices — such as a workstation, switch, router or patch panel — with standard RJ‑45 female jacks will connect directly.
Will this Cat 6 patch cord run at full speed when plugged into an older Cat 5e wall jack?
The link will negotiate at the highest speed both ends support; with a Cat 5e jack the maximum is 1 Gbps, while the cable itself is certified for 10 Gbps up to 160 ft.
