Product Features
Technical Overview
This Category 6 cable supports data transfer speeds up to 1 Gbps at 250 MHz bandwidth, making it ideal for modern network equipment including switches, routers, patch panels, and media converters. The UTP design eliminates electromagnetic interference through precise twisted pair geometry rather than metallic shielding, resulting in a more flexible and cost-effective cable solution.
The RJ-45 connectors feature gold-plated contacts for optimal signal transmission and corrosion resistance, while the snagless bubble boot design protects the connector latch from accidental release during installation or maintenance. With CM listing for both cable and jacket, this product meets commercial building code requirements for riser applications.
Key Product Advantages
This Ethernet cable combines practical design features with reliable performance characteristics for professional network installations. The distinctive green color allows for easy visual identification in cable management systems, while the durable PVC construction ensures long-term reliability in various environmental conditions.
Snagless Bubble Boot Protection
The molded bubble-style boots prevent the connector latch from catching on other cables or equipment during installation, reducing the risk of damage to both the cable and network ports.
- Prevents accidental disconnection
- Reduces strain on port connections
- Improves installation safety
Commercial-Grade Construction
With CM listing for both cable and jacket, this product meets commercial building code requirements for riser applications where flame-retardant materials are essential.
- Flame-retardant PVC jacket
- Suitable for commercial installations
- Compliant with safety standards
Deployment / Use Cases
This 6-foot Category 6 patch cable is optimized for short-distance connections within network racks, between adjacent equipment, or in workstation setups. The length makes it ideal for connecting devices in server rooms, network closets, or office environments where excess cable management can be challenging.
Common deployment scenarios include connecting patch panels to switches in network racks, linking computers to wall outlets in office cubicles, or establishing connections between routers and media converters in telecommunications installations. The green color provides visual differentiation for specific network segments or applications when implementing color-coded cable management systems.
Data Center Patch Connections
Ideal for connecting network switches to patch panels in rack-mounted configurations where organized cable management and reliable connections are critical for network uptime.
Office Workstation Setup
Perfect for connecting desktop computers, VoIP phones, or network printers to wall outlets or direct equipment connections in commercial office environments.

FAQ
What is the maximum data transfer speed supported by this Category 6 cable?
This AddOn Category 6 Ethernet cable supports data transfer speeds up to 1 Gigabit per second (Gbps) with a bandwidth of 250 MHz. It is designed for modern network equipment including Gigabit switches, routers, and network interface cards, providing reliable performance for office networks, data centers, and home installations requiring high-speed connectivity.
What type of connectors does this Ethernet cable have on each end?
Both ends of this cable feature standard RJ-45 male connectors with gold-plated contacts for optimal signal transmission. The connectors are designed with snagless bubble boots that protect the latch mechanism from accidental release during installation or when cables are moved, reducing the risk of damage to both the cable and network equipment ports.
What does the CM rating mean for this network cable?
The CM (Communications Multipurpose) rating indicates that both the cable and its PVC jacket meet specific flame-retardant requirements for commercial building installations. This rating makes the cable suitable for use in riser applications where cables run between floors in commercial buildings, ensuring compliance with building codes and safety standards for network infrastructure.
Is this cable shielded or unshielded, and what are the implications?
This is an Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) cable, meaning it relies on precise twisting of copper conductor pairs to reduce electromagnetic interference rather than using metallic shielding. UTP cables are more flexible, easier to terminate, and generally more cost-effective than shielded alternatives while still providing reliable performance for most office and data center environments where extreme interference is not a concern.
What devices is this Ethernet cable compatible with?
This Category 6 patch cable is fully compatible with a wide range of network equipment including patch panels, hubs, switches, media converters, routers, and various network devices. It supports standard Ethernet protocols and can be used to connect computers, servers, network storage, VoIP phones, and other networked equipment in commercial, educational, or residential settings.
What warranty coverage does this AddOn network cable include?
AddOn provides a lifetime limited warranty for this Category 6 Ethernet cable, covering defects in materials and workmanship for the product's usable life. This warranty reflects the manufacturer's confidence in the cable's construction quality and durability, providing assurance for long-term network infrastructure investments in business environments.
