Description
Intended for Wired Home and Office Networks
- The Category 6 cable is the cable standard for Gigabit Ethernet and other network protocols. A Category 6 Ethernet Patch Cable is also referred to as a Cat6 Network Cable, Cat6 Cable, Cat6 Ethernet Cable, or Cat6 Data/LAN Cable.
- The cable's RJ45 connectors offer universal connectivity to computers and network components, such as routers, switch boxes, network printers, and network attached storage devices.
Built for Future-proof Speed and Reliable Connectivity
- This Cat6 cable supports up to 550 MHz and is suitable for 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX (Fast Ethernet), 1000BASE-T / 1000BASE-TX (Gigabit Ethernet) and 10GBASE-T (10-Gigabit Ethernet).
- Our cables are made of 100% bare copper wire as opposed to copper clad aluminum (CCA) wire, therefore fully compliant with UL Code 444, which require pure bare copper wire in Cat6 communications cables. Our Cat6 patch and bulk cables are used by data centers around the world.

Customer Reviews
The Colors Are A Big HelpIndo
I have a LOT of Ethernet capable devices in my home theater 'rat's nest' of cables, and an eight-port gigabit switch distributing Internet access to them. To help with the sorting of cables, I also have a professional type cable marker (Dymo RhinoPro 5000). Despite having the great labeling on each end of every cable back there, the colors are an even easier and quicker way to trace cables.I also have a couple of dedicated desktop computers and a Home Server computer in my home office, so there are Ethernet cable confusions there as well. Rhino labels and colored cables are once again the best solution to locating the appropriate cables back where access is limited.I wish here were similar sets of cables with even more color combinations, such as contrasting color stripes to help with the cable mazes behind home theaters and computer desks.These cables, being CAT6, provide a bit of "future proof" speed advantage over CAT5E, at a very tiny higher cost. The cables all work just fine, are flexible enough for almost any application, and are a handy length for most crowded applications, such as a home theater.If you do have rats' nests of cables, I'd also recommend the Dymo Rhino labelers. I've had mine for several years now, and every time I get a new gadget/device, I label the cables, and especially the little "wall warts", and their connectors... the power supplies for phones, pads, cameras, GPS's, etc.
Real SnapperLauri Mannikko
The colors help to keep the maze of devices in an ethernet splitter in some order. The secure 'SNAP' of the connector is really the only reason to use Cable Matters cables. If the connector doesn't work properly I'm wasting my time installing one.
Good quality - like the color coding!M-Naut
Cables of good quality with thick robust cord and good connections, unlike some cheapy patch cables that come with routers and similar equipment.
Color cables work greatBrian M McCarthy
The cables came fast and that is one thing I really appreciate. As far as rating the product they cables work great and that's about it.
Got 3 ft cables. Ordered 1/2 ft cables.Otis Boxer
I ordered this which is supposed to be 1/2 foot cables. What I got are 3 foot cables. Now the hassle of repackaging it, getting a return label from amazon. Buying shipping tape. Then taking it a UPS outlet to ship it. When I figure the time involved, gas & tape; It's just not worth it.The next time I'm @ Home Depot, I'll just buy some ends & shorten these. I would get 5 cables from 1 of these with some cable left over.
Well Made Product and a Problem Solver.Jack Dallas
The snag-less design of the clip is a must for me as all other designs seem to break after use, always at an inconvenient time. Color coding of my patch cables helps me with my spaghetti factory of a network. The Cat-6 designation is probably overkill for such a short distance but a nice plus. My entire system is CAT 6 so, for what its worth....
Good construction.Bru Huf
As described. Delivered on time. Good construction.
Very effective cablesSkiAltaBoy
High quality cables. I chose the colored ones to make things easier behind my entertainment center. BD Player, AV Receiver, DirecTV, TV and Game Console. These have the snag less design so when you pull them through a bunch of other wiring, they don't hang up. You have to be pretty deliberate to disengage them from a device. All five worked perfectly, gigabit devices as well as fast ethernet devices. Very satisfied and would buy additional cabling from Cable Matters.
