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).

Customer Reviews

good solid patch cables. neat, tidy, get the job done and definitely don't snag.
Chuck

The cables are well made and very easy handle. I had no trouble getting good positive locking. The covers over the locking clips do their job of keeping the cables from getting caught if you pull them out from a snarled mess. The cable coating is slippery to facilitate moving them around. They have good rigidity but aren't too stiff. They are good patch cables for being cat-6. The only thing I would do better is offer a 'cat-6a shielded' as there is a lot more crossover noise when you lay multiple 3' patch cables on top of each other. All said & done. Good cables for the price. I have two extra and don't mind having spent those couple $$ for them.

Well constructed. Good value.
Injun

Its hard to get excited about cables, except when they fail. I'm using these to connect my TV, Xbox and BluRay and other devices which are items that get moved around a bit. The connectors appear well-attached to the cable itself so I expect these to survive many reconnects and an excessive pull once in a while. These are good value in the 5-packs and I now have some extra cables for the inevitable emergency.

Excellent cables
A. Gula

I wish I had bought the longer cables which was my own fault. Cables are sturdy, connectors are solid and they feel sturdy but flexible. Using with a gigabit switch with no issues what so ever. Excellent cables.

Cables do indeed matter.
Benilda P.

Cable Matters have never failed to impress me, they over almost every single cable you can imagine at a great price, and offers you great quality. I used these patch cables to connect my Patch Bar to my Ethernet Switch, to my Dell PowerEdge server, and let me say I have not had any type of signal degradation at all. I've used one of these at my work, and I can easily reach speeds up to 1 Gbps easily.Great price, great value, great product.I would recommend this.

They Work.
Jennifer Case

These fit the bill for the short runs I needed from a hub to various Home Theater items (Xbox, Amazon Fire, Wii U). Excellent cables in an economical 5 pack package.

Quality cables..

I needed some additional Cat6 cables and decided to give these a try. They are well constructed and are working as advertised. And, of course, the price is right.

Good solution to keep a professional clean set up
Jonathan L. Lopez

I love these the length varies but I picked all mine up in 3 Feet length and have them running to a ethernet port of 5 from net gear which is a black box with just ethernet ports. It makes it look nice and clean the material used on these Cat6 cables is think they flex a bit if you need to adjust the direction. Price and value is what sold me on these they work well no complaints or problems with these.

Best ethernet cables I've ever purchased
Brandon Cook

I think the picture is actually wrong: these came with an even better looking/feeling rubber form around the clip which prevents it from snagging. Great purchase.
