A copper patch cable, also known as an Ethernet patch cable or RJ45 patch cord, connects switches, routers, servers and patch panels. At Telco Parts, you can choose Cat6, Cat6A and Cat7 cables for offices, server rooms and data centres, including models from CommScope and Datwyler. Our range includes different lengths and colours, U/UTP and S/FTP shielding and LSZH jackets.

Unlike bulk installation cable for permanent runs, patch cables have RJ45 connectors fitted at both ends and are ready to use.

Cat6, Cat6A or Cat7 patch cables?

Cat6 is rated to 250 MHz and is a common choice for Gigabit Ethernet. Cat6A is rated to 500 MHz and supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet over channels up to 100 metres when the complete installation meets Cat6A requirements. Cat7 patch cables in our range use S/FTP shielding. With RJ45 connectors, the performance of the complete connection still depends on all cabling components.

U/UTP or S/FTP shielding?

U/UTP patch cables have no metallic shielding and suit many standard office and rack connections. S/FTP uses foil shielding around each twisted pair and an overall braided screen to help reduce electromagnetic interference and crosstalk. Choose the shielding type that matches the installed network cabling.
