5.0M CAT6 Patch Lead RJ45 Blue

Overview

At 5.0 m, this Cat6 patch lead is enough to cross a room or drop from a ceiling-mounted access point back to the nearest switch. 24 AWG stranded copper, the standard patch-lead gauge, gives it the flex life to survive repeated plugging without the conductors work-hardening. Cat6 performance to 250 MHz covers Gigabit Ethernet with margin for everyday office and home networks. The blue jacket is there to make the run identifiable once a dozen leads share the same pathway.

Best World 5.0M Cat6 Patch Lead RJ45 Blue is a snagless, unshielded (UTP) cable built for dependable Gigabit networking in homes, offices, and data centres. It uses 24 AWG stranded copper twisted pairs for flexibility and reliable signal transmission, while the snagless RJ45 connectors protect the locking tabs from damage during installation or removal. A moulded strain-relief boot reduces stress at the connector and makes routing in high-density panels easier, and the stranded construction delivers a longer flex life for frequent plugging and handling.

This lead supports 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet 1000Base-T Gigabit Ethernet and meets Cat6 performance up to 250 MHz over distances up to 100 metres. It is fully Power over Ethernet (PoE) compatible and backward compatible with Cat5e/Cat5 systems. Wiring follows the T568A and T568B schemes for RJ45 terminations, and each patch cord is tested and verified to meet Cat6 component requirements, providing a cost-effective solution for indoor networking installations.
