Product Features
Technical Overview
Engineered to meet Category 6a standards, this UTP patch cable ensures robust performance with minimal signal interference. The RJ-45 male connectors on both ends feature gold-plated contacts for reliable conductivity and corrosion resistance. The snagless boot design protects the connectors from accidental disconnection and reduces strain on the cable ends.
The cable uses 28 AWG stranded conductors, which balance flexibility with performance. It is unshielded (UTP), making it ideal for typical office and data center environments where external interference is minimal. The CM-rated jacket is suitable for use in plenum spaces, meeting safety and fire-resistance requirements.
