Product Features
Technical Overview
This CAT6 patch cable supports data transfer rates up to 1 Gbps over 100 meters, with a bandwidth of 550 MHz for high-speed networking applications. The S/FTP (Shielded/Foiled Twisted Pair) construction combines overall foil shielding with individual pair shielding, offering superior protection against crosstalk and external noise.
The cable's 26 AWG stranded copper conductors provide excellent conductivity while remaining flexible for repeated installations. Gold-plated contacts on the RJ45 connectors ensure optimal signal integrity and corrosion resistance, maintaining reliable performance over the cable's lifetime.
Key Product Advantages

FAQ
What does S/FTP shielding mean for this CAT6 cable?
S/FTP stands for Shielded/Foiled Twisted Pair, indicating this cable has two layers of protection: an overall foil shield around all conductor pairs, plus individual foil shields around each twisted pair. This dual-shielding design provides superior protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI), ensuring clean signal transmission in electrically noisy environments like offices with fluorescent lighting or industrial settings with machinery.
What is the advantage of gold-plated connectors on this patch cable?
The gold-plated RJ45 connectors provide excellent corrosion resistance and maintain optimal electrical conductivity over time. Gold doesn't oxidize like other metals, ensuring consistent signal transmission even after repeated insertions and removals. The 50-micron gold plating creates a reliable connection surface that minimizes signal loss and maintains CAT6 performance specifications throughout the cable's lifetime, making it ideal for business environments where network reliability is critical.
How does the snagless boot design benefit installation and maintenance?
The snagless molded boots feature a protective cover over the RJ45 connector latch that prevents it from catching on other cables, patch panel ports, or equipment during installation and removal. This design reduces the risk of latch breakage that can occur with standard boots, extending the cable's usable life in environments where connections are frequently changed. The boots also provide strain relief at the termination points, protecting the internal conductors from damage due to bending or pulling.
What network speeds and applications is this 7-foot CAT6 cable suitable for?
This CAT6 patch cable supports data transfer rates up to 1 Gigabit per second (Gbps) with a bandwidth of 550 MHz, making it suitable for most business networking applications including Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, and Gigabit Ethernet. It's ideal for connecting computers, printers, switches, routers, and other network devices in office environments, supporting activities like file sharing, video conferencing, cloud access, and general internet connectivity while maintaining reliable performance.
