Make Gigabit Ethernet connections with PoE support

This Cat6 cable delivers reliable Gigabit network connections, which ensures high-performance capability for your demanding Ethernet applications.

Find the length and color you need

This 6-inch black patch cable is perfect for use in server closets, patch panels and with Ethernet hubs. The cable is intended for short-distance applications such as point-to-point in-rack and across-rack network switch and server connections.

For easier network installations, our Cat6 patch cables are available in a wide variety of lengths and colors. This ensures you have the right size of cable available when you need it and it lets you color code your connections for a more organized setup.

Snagless RJ45 clips help protect your network connections

For trouble-free cable runs, this durable cable features snagless connectors that protect the RJ45 clips during installation, making them less likely to snag or break.

The cable also features molded boots which offer connector strain relief by stopping the RJ45 connector termination points from bending at sharp angles. This reduces the risk of damage to the cable, which could decrease network connectivity and performance.

100% copper for outstanding value

Get the highest value for your cable investment with our Cat6 Ethernet cables. Each of our patch cables is manufactured using high-quality copper conductors and they are carefully constructed and tested, to keep Near-End Crosstalk (NEXT) well within acceptable limits.

24-gauge wire for high-performance network connection

Ensure high-performance capability for your demanding Ethernet applications, such as Power-over-Ethernet and 4K or 1080p video streaming, using cables that include 24 AWG copper.

50-micron gold connectors provide peak conductivity

You can rely on our RJ45 connectors to deliver optimum conductivity while eliminating signal loss due to oxidation or corrosion.
