Description

Get a fast, reliable wired connection with this Maplin Cat 6 ethernet cable. Available in lengths from 0.5m to 50m, it's suitable for everything from short patch runs behind a desk to longer installations across a home or office. What You Get Cat 6 ethernet cable with RJ45 connectors at both ends Supports speeds up to 1Gbps with bandwidth up to 250MHz UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) construction with strain relief boots for durability and latch protection Backwards compatible with Cat 5e and Cat 5 networks Available in 0.5m, 3m, 5m, 10m, 25m and 50m lengths Ideal For Connect your desktop PC, laptop, games console, Smart TV, streaming device, NAS drive or CCTV system directly to your router or network switch. A wired Cat 6 connection delivers more consistent speeds and lower latency than Wi-Fi, making it a better choice for online gaming, 4K streaming, video calls and large file transfers. Cat 6 vs Cat 5e - What's the Difference? Cat 5e cables support speeds up to 1Gbps at 100MHz, which is sufficient for most home broadband connections. Cat 6 cables support the same 1Gbps speed but at a higher 250MHz bandwidth, with stricter specifications for crosstalk and signal noise. This means more stable performance over longer distances, particularly in environments with electrical interference. If you're installing new cabling, Cat 6 is the better long-term choice as it also supports 10Gbps over shorter runs up to 55 metres. Choosing the Right Length For connecting a device to a router in the same room, 0.5m to 3m is usually sufficient. For runs between rooms or floors, 10m to 25m covers most homes. Our 50m cable is suited for larger properties or semi-commercial setups. Keeping cable runs as short as practical gives the best performance, so measure your route before ordering. Also available in white and as a flat cable for running under carpets or along skirting boards. For outdoor or buried runs, see our outdoor Cat 6 ethernet cable.
