StarTech.com - Cat5e Patch Cable with Molded RJ45 Connectors - 6 ft. - Black

This Cat 6 shielded Ethernet patch cable - also sold as a Cat6 LAN cable, internet cable or RJ45 network cord - moves Gigabit traffic over a 24 AWG stranded bare copper core tested to 550 MHz, well beyond the 250 MHz the Cat 6 standard asks for. Foil shielding wraps all four twisted pairs, so the run stays clean beside power cabling, inside metal racks and near motors or ballasts where unshielded cords pick up noise. Each RJ45 plug carries 50-micron gold-plated contacts wired to T568B, and a snagless molded boot shields the locking tab so it does not snap when the cable is pulled back out of a packed patch panel. Backward compatible with Cat 5e and ready for Cat6a ports. Compatible with Cisco, Netgear, TP-Link, Ubiquiti, Linksys, ASUS, Synology and QNAP hardware. Stocked in 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 10ft, 14, 15, 20, 25, 50 and 100 ft - short jumpers through long Ethernet cables between rooms. Measure the path the cable travels, not the straight line. Best for: structured wiring, server rooms and patch panels. Not for: in-wall runs, outdoors, or 10 Gigabit across a full 100 m.

This Cat6 Ethernet Cable is an RJ45 male-to-male network patch cord for connecting computers and LAN devices to routers, modems, switches, hubs, patch panels, servers, printers, smart TVs, game consoles, NAS systems, and network media players. The cable supports bandwidth up to 550MHz and data rates up to 10Gbps on compatible Ethernet networks. Four unshielded twisted pairs help reduce crosstalk, while gold-plated 8P8C RJ45 contacts support stable signal transmission. Stranded copper-clad aluminum conductors, a flexible PVC jacket, molded strain relief, and snagless boots provide dependable everyday connectivity and help protect the retaining clips during installation.
