Cable purpose

This nine-foot Cat 6 patch cord uses 24 AWG stranded copper conductors and gold-plated RJ-45 plugs to carry 1, 2.5, 5 and 10 Gbps Ethernet plus 100 W PoE over distances up to 160 ft. The CMG-rated PVC jacket meets general-purpose fire requirements and follows the TIA/EIA-568-B.1-2001 T568B wiring standard.

Ideal fit and limits

Installers who need a short gray link for switches, routers or PoE devices will find the snagless boots helpful in tight racks. The cable is unshielded, so environments with heavy EMI may require a shielded alternative. It also lacks outdoor or plenum ratings, so runs through air-handling spaces need a different jacket.

Deciding specification

The 500 MHz Cat 6 rating guarantees 10 Gbps performance up to 160 ft; if the installation exceeds that length or demands certified 10 Gbps beyond it, a higher-category cable is required.

Questions about this item

Does the Cat6 500 MHz rating support 10 Gbps at the full 9 ft length?

Yes, the Cat6 500 MHz cable delivers 10 Gbps up to 160 ft, so the 9 ft run is well within the supported distance.

Will the snagless RJ45 connectors fit a standard keystone jack or patch panel?

The snagless boots are designed for standard RJ45 ports on keystones, patch panels and switches without clearance issues.

Is any special tool or wiring scheme needed to install this T568B patch cord?

No tools are required; the cable is pre-terminated to T568B, so you simply plug each RJ45 male end into the device ports.
