8 ft Cat6 patch cable for Gigabit

This eight-foot purple Cat6 patch cord uses 24 AWG stranded copper conductors with gold-plated RJ45 plugs on each end. It is rated for 500 MHz bandwidth and supports 10Gbps up to 160 ft as well as 2.5Gbps and 5Gbps Multi-Gig speeds. The T568B wiring follows the TIA/EIA-568-B.1-2001 standard for broad device compatibility.

Snagless boots and PVC jacket keep daily handling

The snagless moulded boots protect the release tabs from catching during frequent insertions and removals. A CMG-rated PVC jacket provides general-purpose fire safety for in-room routing. Passive copper construction means no active components generate heat or noise, and power draw is limited to the PoE current carried by connected equipment.

Gold-plated contacts and 100 W PoE readiness

Gold plating on the contact pins resists oxidation for reliable long-term mating cycles. The cable carries up to 100 W of Power over Ethernet, so it can feed access points, cameras or VoIP phones without a separate supply. Stranded conductors keep the cord flexible for tight patch-panel bends or desktop rearrangements.

Questions about this item

How do I install the snagless RJ45 connectors without damaging the tabs?

Press the connector straight into the port until it clicks; the snagless boot protects the locking tab, so do not force it at an angle or pull on the cable body.

Will the 24 AWG stranded copper conductors need replacement after repeated bending?

Stranded 24 AWG 100% copper is rated for flexible patching; inspect the jacket and connectors periodically, but no scheduled conductor replacement is required.

At what distance does the 500 MHz Cat6 rating limit 10 Gbps throughput?

The cable supports 10 Gbps up to 160 ft; beyond that length the 500 MHz bandwidth limit reduces the maximum reliable speed.
