Product Features
Technical Overview
This cable supports data transfer rates up to 1 Gbit/s over its 1-foot length, utilizing 26 AWG stranded copper wires for optimal signal integrity. The 250-MHz frequency rating ensures it meets Category 6 specifications for high-speed networking applications.
The S/FTP shielding combines overall foil shielding with individual pair foil shielding, offering enhanced protection against EMI/RF noise. Gold-plated contacts on the RJ-45 male connectors improve conductivity and corrosion resistance, while the slim molded boot reduces strain and prevents snagging in dense patch panels.
