About this product
Need a dependable wired link from the router to a console, PC or smart TV? 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 tested to 550 MHz, well beyond the 250 MHz the Cat 6 standard asks for. Colour-matched snagless molded boots protect the locking tab, and 50-micron gold-plated RJ45 contacts hold a clean connection. Compatible with any RJ45 port, including PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch OLED dock, Apple TV 4K, Roku Ultra, Samsung and LG smart TVs, and eero or Netgear routers. Carries high speed Gigabit Ethernet up to 100 m and works in Cat 5e, Cat 6 and Cat6a ports. Stocked in 6 inch to 150 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).

Cat 6 Tested to 550 MHz, 24 AWG Bare Copper
Four twisted pairs of 24 AWG stranded bare copper, not copper-clad aluminum, separated by a PE cross divider and tested to 550 MHz against the 250 MHz the Cat 6 standard requires. Carries Gigabit Ethernet to 100 m with 50-micron gold-plated RJ45 contacts on both ends.
A Wired Link Beats Wi-Fi for Gaming and Streaming
Wi-Fi is where lag spikes and buffering come from. Running a Cat 6 cable to a console, PC, streaming box or smart TV removes interference and drop-outs in one step. Works in Cat 5e, Cat 6 and Cat6a ports, so it fits the router you own today and the one you buy next.
Works with Any RJ45 Port, Not for Plenum, Riser, Outdoor
Works with PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch OLED dock, Apple TV 4K, Roku Ultra, Samsung and LG smart TVs, eero and Netgear routers. Quick check: Console, PC or TV to router - Yes. Patch panel to switch - Yes. 10 Gbps runs - No, choose Cat 6a. Plenum or riser run - No. Outdoor or direct burial - No.
Snagless Boots Keep the Locking Tab From Snapping
The most common way a patch cable dies is the plastic release tab snapping off, after which the plug will not stay seated. Colour-matched molded snagless boots cover that tab so it does not catch on a cable bundle or desk edge while you pull the cable out.
Sample-Tested Production, Cable Leader Direct Support
Each cable is sample-tested during production for continuity and wire map. Manufactured to RoHS environmental standards. If your cable arrives defective or stops working in normal use, Cable Leader handles replacement requests directly, no manufacturer redirects.
