Product Features
Technical Overview
This patch cable utilizes unshielded twisted pair (UTP) construction with 24 AWG stranded conductors, providing flexibility and durability for frequent handling. The cable is designed to minimize Near End Crosstalk (NEXT) and supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications, making it versatile for both data and power delivery in networked devices.
The CM (Communications Multipurpose) jacket rating indicates compliance with flame-retardant standards for use in plenum spaces, while the environmentally friendly PVC material balances performance with regulatory considerations.
This section brings together practical product details such as Cable Type, Cable Characteristic, Cable Length, Product Color, so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.
