Mini Cat6 Patch Cables

A Cat6 (Category 6) patch cable is a twisted-pair network cable terminated with RJ45 connectors on both ends, used to connect computers, switches, routers, patch panels, and other network equipment. It's a step up from Cat5e, offering more bandwidth headroom and better resistance to interference.

These Cat6 patch cables support Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T) and 10/100 Ethernet, and support 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GBASE-T) at limited distances. They're built from 550 MHz-tested bulk cable, well above the 250 MHz the Cat6 standard requires, and comply with TIA/EIA-568-B.

Yes. These Cat6 patch cables are fully backward compatible with existing Cat5e patch cables and 10/100 Fast Ethernet networks.

These cables use RJ45 male-to-male connectors with 50 micro-inch gold-plated contacts for reliable, corrosion-resistant connectivity.

Non-Booted cables have a bare RJ45 connector, useful in high-density patch panel racks where a boot wouldn't fit. Booted cables add a molded snagless boot that protects the connector's release tab and keeps cables from snagging on each other. Mini cables use a thinner 28 AWG conductor and a slim boot to save space in tight networking cabinets. Cat6a Shielded cables step up to shielded Cat6A construction for better interference resistance and higher-bandwidth 10 Gigabit runs.

These Cat6 patch cables carry a Lifetime Warranty and are RoHS and REACH compliant.

Standard Non-Booted, Booted, and Cat6a Shielded cables use 24 AWG stranded copper conductors; Mini cables use a thinner 28 AWG stranded copper conductor. All are jacketed in PVC.
