7ft Cat6 Blue Snagless Ethernet Patch Cable | Gigabit Network Cord

7 feet is the sweet spot for the majority of desk-to-wall-jack and router-to-switch distances — long enough to reach without stretching, short enough to avoid a mess of excess cable behind your equipment. This Cat6 patch cable is built to full Gigabit spec with a snagless boot and gold-plated connectors, so it holds up to years of plugging, unplugging, and cable management without failing at the connector — a common weak point in bargain-bin cables.

Built for Years of Plugging and Unplugging

Rated to 550MHz, this cable delivers full Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T) support at this length and is backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat5 equipment. The blue jacket makes it easy to color-code in multi-cable setups, and the unshielded twisted pair (UTP) build keeps everything slim for clean cable management.

Key Features

• Cat6 rated to 550MHz — full Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T) support at this length
• Snagless, molded strain-relief boot protects the RJ45 clip during install and removal
• 24AWG stranded bare-copper conductors for flexible, easy routing
• Gold-plated 8P8C connectors resist corrosion for a stable connection over years of use
• Unshielded twisted pair (UTP) build keeps the cable slim for clean management
• Blue jacket for simple color-coding in multi-cable setups
• Backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat5 equipment

Frequently Asked Questions

Is 7ft enough to reach from my desk to the wall jack?
In most home offices and cubicles, yes — 7ft is the most commonly needed length for a single desk setup.

Will this work with my Gigabit router?
Yes, it's rated for full Gigabit Ethernet performance and works with any router, switch, or modem with an RJ45 port.

What is the difference between Cat5e and Cat6 Ethernet cable?
Cat6 is rated to 550MHz versus Cat5e's 100MHz, giving it more headroom for full Gigabit speeds with less crosstalk, and it supports higher-speed multi-gig networking (2.5GbE/5GbE) over shorter runs where Cat5e can't. This cable is Cat6, so it's fully backward compatible with your existing Cat5e gear.

Does it support PoE devices like cameras or access points?
The copper supports PoE current; actual PoE delivery depends on your PoE-capable switch/injector and the connected device.
