8 ft Cat6 patch cable for 10 Gbps and PoE

This 8 ft yellow Cat6 patch cable uses 24 AWG stranded copper conductors rated to 250 MHz. It supports data rates of 1/2.5/5/10 Gbps up to 160 ft and carries 100 W Power over Ethernet. Snagless RJ45 connectors on both ends protect the locking tabs during frequent moves.

UTP limits at 250 MHz and 10 Gbps

Unshielded twisted pair rated to 250 MHz handles 10 Gbps reliably up to 160 ft in typical environments. Beyond that distance or in high-interference areas, signal integrity may drop below the 10 Gbps threshold. The cable is not shielded, so routing it parallel to power cables should be avoided where possible.

Check port speed and PoE class before ordering

Ensure the switch or router ports support the desired Multi-Gig speed and the correct PoE class for 100 W delivery. Verify that the 8 ft length reaches between your devices without tension. The RJ45 connectors fit standard Ethernet ports; no special adapters are required.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 8 ft yellow Cat6 cable or a different length or colour for my setup?

This listing is for the 8 ft yellow Cat6 patch cable; other lengths or colours would be separate items with their own part numbers.

What does the 10 Gbps rating mean when I plug this cable into my router and PC?

The cable supports 10 Gbps up to 160 ft, so at 8 ft you will see the full 10 Gbps provided your switch, router and NIC all run at 10 Gbps.

The cable uses RJ-45 connectors — what standard does that interface cap at in practice?

The RJ-45 connectors follow the Cat6 250 MHz specification, which caps real-world throughput at 10 Gbps over the full 160 ft channel.
