Why Purchase Category6 Ethernet Cables?

To date, Cat6 and Cat6A ethernet cables remain the industry standard for home and office internet connections. Cables.com stocks indoor and outdoor Category6 cables for every job. FInd the Cat6 network patch cables you need for your data center here. 

Technology is constantly evolving, and fiber optic internet currently offers some of the fastest connection speeds available. But ethernet connections remain prized for their stability, affordability, and ease of installation - and in those regards, Category6 ethernet cables reign supreme. Cat6 cables offer up to twice the speed of Category 5e cables and are gigabit rated, which makes them suitable for POE (Power Over Ethernet) devices; and Cat6A network patch cables operate at frequencies up to 500 megahertz—twice the rate of their immediate predecessor. 

Whether you're looking for cables for basic home office installation or looking to connect an entire business complex, Cables.com has the Cat6 Network cables you need.

Booted or Bootless Network Patch Cables?

When ordering your ethernet cables, you have the option to choose between bootless connectors and connectors with snagless boots. Bootless Network Cables (also known as assembly type) ensure a snug fit in all receptacles for all applications including high density network switches, where they are recommended. 

Ethernet cables featuring snagless boots are meant to provide a more secure fit in all receptacles in order to avoid the likelihood of an accidental disconnect, which makes them suitable for all applications except high density network switches, wherein they are not recommended due to space constraints. The molded snagless boot is also ideal when you are plugging and unplugging your booted Category6 ethernet cable often, which results in strain on the connector clip.

Shielded Cat6A Ethernet Cables

Our Shielded Cat6A Ethernet cables have RJ45 male connectors and come in a variety of lengths, are booted, shielded and have foil over Twisted Pair shielding for protection against electromagnetic interference (or EMI) to transmit clean signals over long distances and are constructed with a solid jacket and rated to speeds up to 550Mhz. This makes them suitable for installation as wi-fi access points, allowing you to run as little as one wire in the middle of a warehouse and have signal and power for your devices on the same cable. 

Plenum Category6 Ethernet Cables

Plenum cables are meant for installation in little-seen or accessed spaces, like beneath floor panels or in ceilings. These cables should be built to last, and our Plenum Cat6 ethernet cables are manufactured to meet fire code regulations. You can plug them in, and forget them!
