Product Features
Technical Overview
This patch cable meets Category 6 specifications, supporting frequencies up to 550 MHz for robust network performance. It features RJ45 male connectors on both ends, each with gold-plated contacts to reduce corrosion and maintain reliable electrical connections over time.
The 24 AWG stranded copper conductors offer flexibility and durability, making the cable resistant to breakage from repeated bending. The non-booted connector design simplifies cable management in high-density patch panels and switches.
Key Product Advantages
This cable delivers consistent network performance with its Cat6 construction and gold-plated connectors, ensuring minimal signal loss and reliable data transfer. The stranded conductors and non-booted design enhance durability and ease of use in various installation scenarios.
Gold-Plated Connectors
Gold plating on the RJ45 contacts provides excellent conductivity and corrosion resistance, supporting long-term reliability in network connections.
- Enhanced signal integrity
- Reduced oxidation over time
Stranded Conductors
The 24 AWG stranded copper wires offer greater flexibility compared to solid-core cables, making this patch cable ideal for applications where frequent movement or bending occurs.
- Improved durability
- Resists breakage from flexing
Deployment / Use Cases
This patch cable is ideal for connecting network devices such as computers, printers, switches, and routers in office, home, or data center environments. Its 4-foot length makes it perfect for short-run connections within racks, desks, or between adjacent equipment.

FAQ
What is the maximum data speed supported by this Cat6 cable?
This Category 6 patch cable supports Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T) and other high-speed network protocols. Cat6 cables are designed to handle data rates up to 1 Gbps over distances up to 100 meters, though this 4-foot version is optimized for shorter patch connections where maximum performance is maintained.
Can I use this cable to connect my computer directly to a router?
Yes, this patch cable is perfect for connecting computers, laptops, or other network devices directly to routers, switches, or modems. The RJ45 male connectors on both ends are standard for Ethernet connections, making it compatible with virtually all modern networking equipment that uses RJ45 ports.
What does 'non-booted' mean for this patch cable?
Non-booted refers to the RJ45 connectors lacking a protective boot or cover over the connector latch. This design makes the connectors more compact and easier to insert and remove in crowded patch panels or tight spaces where booted connectors might snag. It simplifies cable management in high-density installations.
Is this cable suitable for PoE (Power over Ethernet) applications?
Yes, this Cat6 patch cable with 24 AWG stranded conductors can support Power over Ethernet applications. The cable's construction meets the requirements for transmitting both data and power to devices like VoIP phones, wireless access points, and security cameras that utilize PoE technology.
