Product Features
Technical Overview
This CAT6 cable supports data transmission up to 550 MHz, meeting TIA/EIA-568-B.2-1 standards for Gigabit Ethernet and backward compatibility with CAT5e networks. The 26 AWG stranded copper conductors offer flexibility for tight spaces while maintaining signal integrity.
S/FTP shielding combines overall foil shielding with individual pair foil shielding, providing robust protection against EMI and RF interference. This construction is ideal for environments with high electrical noise, such as data centers, offices, and industrial settings.
Key Product Advantages
This patch cable delivers reliable performance with features designed for durability and ease of use. The molded boot and stranded construction ensure long-term flexibility and resistance to physical stress.
Enhanced Shielding
S/FTP shielding provides superior protection against electromagnetic and radio frequency interference, reducing data errors and maintaining network stability.
- Overall foil shield
- Individual pair foil shields
- EMI/RF protection
Durable Connectors
Gold-plated RJ45 contacts offer excellent conductivity and corrosion resistance, while the snagless boot prevents latch damage during frequent connections.
- Gold contact plating
- Molded boot design
- RJ45 male connectors
Deployment / Use Cases
This cable is ideal for short-distance connections within network racks, between switches and servers, or for linking workstations to wall outlets. Its 2-foot length is perfect for organized cable management in tight spaces.
Common applications include data center patch panels, office network setups, VoIP phone connections, and point-of-sale systems. The purple color allows for easy visual identification in complex cable bundles, simplifying maintenance and troubleshooting.

FAQ
What is the difference between S/FTP and UTP shielding?
S/FTP shielding combines an overall foil shield around all pairs with individual foil shields around each pair, providing superior protection against electromagnetic and radio frequency interference. UTP cables have no shielding, making S/FTP ideal for environments with high electrical noise where signal integrity is critical.
What network speeds does this CAT6 cable support?
This CAT6 cable supports Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T) speeds and is backward compatible with CAT5e networks. Its 550 MHz frequency rating ensures reliable data transmission for high-bandwidth applications in business and data center environments.
Is this cable suitable for PoE (Power over Ethernet) applications?
Yes, the 26 AWG conductors and robust shielding make this cable suitable for PoE applications. It can reliably deliver both data and power to devices like IP phones, wireless access points, and security cameras without signal degradation.
What does the snagless boot design provide?
The snagless boot protects the RJ45 connector latch from breaking when the cable is inserted or removed from crowded ports. This design prevents damage during frequent connections in patch panels and switches, extending the cable's lifespan in high-use environments.
