Product Features
Technical Overview
This Cat6 cable supports Gigabit Ethernet and other high-speed network protocols, delivering stable data transmission up to 250 MHz. The 28 AWG construction provides a balance of flexibility and performance, while the unshielded twisted pair (UTP) design minimizes crosstalk and electromagnetic interference in typical office environments.
The cable meets the ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 standard for patch cord performance, ensuring compatibility with Cat6 network infrastructure. Features include molded strain relief, booted connectors, and minimized near-end crosstalk (NEXT) to maintain signal integrity across the entire cable length.
This section brings together practical product details such as Cable Type, Cable Characteristic, Cable Length, Color Family, so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.
Key Product Advantages
This cable combines space-saving design with reliable network performance, making it a versatile choice for both new installations and cable management upgrades.
Slim Profile Design
The 36% reduction in diameter compared to standard Cat5e cables allows for better airflow and easier routing in crowded racks, trays, and conduits.
- Reduces cable clutter
- Improves airflow management
- Easier to bundle and organize
Durable Construction
Snagless boots prevent accidental disconnections, while molded strain relief and PVC jacket material protect against physical wear and environmental factors.
- Prevents connector damage
- Reduces cable strain
- Long-lasting performance
Deployment / Use Cases
This Cat6 patch cable is suitable for connecting network devices such as computers, printers, switches, routers, and IP phones in various environments. Its 5 ft length makes it ideal for short-run connections within racks, between adjacent devices, or in desktop setups where minimal cable slack is preferred.
Common applications include office workstations, server room patch panels, conference room AV systems, and home networking setups. The orange color provides quick visual identification for specific network segments, troubleshooting, or cable management labeling systems.
Data Center & Server Room
Use for patching between switches and servers in high-density racks where slim cables improve airflow and organization.
Office Workstation
Connect computers to wall jacks or network switches with a clean, professional appearance and reliable Gigabit Ethernet performance.
