Product Features
Technical Overview
This cable meets Category 6 standards, supporting data transfer rates up to 10 Gbit/s over short distances, making it suitable for high-speed network applications. It uses 28 AWG stranded conductors for flexibility and reliable performance in patch cord applications.
The cable is unshielded (UTP), which simplifies installation and reduces bulk, while still providing effective performance in typical office and data center environments. The CM-rated jacket is suitable for use in plenum spaces, offering fire resistance and safety compliance.
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.
Key Product Advantages
This patch cable delivers reliable connectivity with features that enhance durability and ease of use in professional network setups.
Durable Construction
The stranded conductors and strain relief design resist damage from bending and pulling, extending cable lifespan in high-traffic areas.
- Stranded conductors for flexibility
- Strain relief to prevent wire breakage
- Damage-resistant jacket material
Enhanced Signal Quality
Gold-plated contacts and Near End Crosstalk (NEXT) performance ensure clean signal transmission with minimal interference.
- Gold contact plating reduces corrosion
- NEXT performance minimizes signal interference
- 10 Gbit/s capability for high-speed networks
Deployment / Use Cases
This cable is specifically designed for patch panel applications, connecting network switches to patch panels in server racks and data centers. Its 1-foot length makes it ideal for short connections where excess cable management can be challenging.
Common deployment scenarios include connecting wallplates to network devices in office environments, linking patch panels to switches in telecom closets, and providing temporary connections during network testing and troubleshooting. The yellow color allows for easy visual identification in complex cable management systems.
Patch Panel Connections
Perfect for connecting patch panels to switches or routers in rack-mounted environments where space is limited and organization is critical.
Wallplate to Device Links
Ideal for connecting wall-mounted network outlets to computers, printers, or other network-enabled devices in office settings.

FAQ
What is the maximum data transfer rate of this cable?
This Category 6 UTP patch cable supports data transfer rates up to 10 Gbit/s, making it suitable for high-speed network applications including Gigabit Ethernet and 10GBASE-T networks over short distances.
What type of connectors does this cable have?
The cable features RJ45 male connectors on both ends with gold-plated contacts. This standard connector type ensures compatibility with most network equipment including switches, routers, patch panels, and network interface cards.
Is this cable shielded or unshielded?
This is an unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable, which means it does not have additional foil or braid shielding. UTP cables are commonly used in office environments and provide reliable performance while being more flexible and easier to install than shielded alternatives.
What does the CM jacket rating mean?
The CM (Communications Multipurpose) jacket rating indicates the cable is suitable for use in plenum spaces—areas used for air circulation in buildings. CM-rated cables have fire-resistant properties that meet specific safety standards for installation in commercial buildings.
What is the advantage of snagless boots?
Snagless boots are protective covers that prevent the connector latch from catching on other cables, ports, or equipment during installation and removal. This feature reduces the risk of damage to the connector and helps maintain reliable connections in densely packed network environments.
What devices is this cable compatible with?
This patch cable is fully compatible with patch panels, wallplates, and various network devices including switches, routers, computers, printers, and other Ethernet-enabled equipment. The standard RJ45 connectors ensure broad compatibility across most network infrastructure components.
