This Cable Leader Cat 6 Ethernet patch cable, also sold as a Cat6 LAN cable, internet cable or RJ45 network cord, uses four twisted pairs of 24 AWG bare copper in a 6.2 mm PVC jacket, tested to 550 MHz, well beyond the 250 MHz the Cat 6 standard asks for.

Carries high speed Gigabit Ethernet up to 100 m and works in Cat 5e, Cat 6 and Cat6a ports. Stocked in 6 inch to 25 ft lengths, from short patch cables to long Ethernet cables between rooms. Best for: home networks, gaming setups, offices and patch panels. Not for: plenum or riser runs, outdoor or direct-burial use, or 10 Gbps links (choose Cat 6a).
