Intellinet 342438 Cat 6 Patch Cord 50 Foot Blue

Product Description

The INTELLINET 342438 is a Cat 6 patch cord designed for structured cabling installations in residential and commercial network environments. Built to Cat 6 specifications, it delivers an improved signal-to-noise ratio with minimal signal loss compared to Cat 5e cabling, supporting faster and more reliable data transmission for modern network applications. At 50 feet in length, it suits longer horizontal runs within a rack room, server closet, or open office layout. Network technicians and low-voltage installers use this cable to connect switches, patch panels, routers, and end devices.

This patch cord is well suited for Ethernet network installations where a longer pre-terminated cable run is needed. The blue jacket aids in visual cable identification and color-coded patch panel organization, a common practice in structured cabling work. It is appropriate for use in both new installations and retrofit projects requiring a reliable Cat 6 connection over a 50-foot span.

Key Features

• Cat 6 rated for improved signal-to-noise ratio and reduced cross-talk versus Cat 5e
• 50-foot length handles longer patch runs between rack equipment and wall jacks
• Blue jacket for visual identification and color-coded cable management
• Pre-terminated for fast deployment without field termination tools

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style patch cord compatible with standard RJ-45 ports on Cat 6 and Cat 5e network switches, patch panels, routers, and network interface cards.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by low-voltage technicians or network installers following TIA-568 structured cabling standards. Route cables away from high-voltage conduit and sources of electromagnetic interference to maintain signal integrity. Avoid sharp bends that exceed the cable minimum bend radius, as kinking can degrade Cat 6 performance. No tools are required for connection — simply seat the RJ-45 connectors fully into the port until the locking tab clicks.
