The Cable Leader 1ft Cat6 Ethernet Cable (LAN / RJ45 Network Patch Cable) delivers a fast, reliable Gigabit wired connection for homes, offices and gaming setups, in green with a clear snagless boot for easy color-coding.
Built to the Cat6 standard and tested to 550MHz - well above the 250MHz Cat6 minimum - it supports Gigabit Ethernet (and 10G over short runs) and is fully backward compatible with Cat5e for a drop-in upgrade.
For everyday networking, a wired Cat6 link to your router, switch, console or PC delivers stable, low-latency performance that beats Wi-Fi for streaming, video calls and online gaming.
Each cable uses 24AWG stranded bare copper conductors in 4 twisted pairs, terminated with 8P8C Triplex RJ45 plugs featuring 50-micron gold-plated contacts for dependable, corrosion-resistant connections.
A clear transparent snagless boot protects the locking clip, resists tangling and keeps a tidy look at the port. Use it with routers, modems, network switches, gaming consoles, desktop PCs, NAS units and smart TVs.
Available across the C6117 family in multiple lengths and nine colors for easy port labeling. RoHS compliant and UL & ETL Verified. Backed by the Cable Leader Lifetime Warranty.
