Product Features
Technical Overview
This Cat6 cable delivers performance up to 250 MHz, supporting Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T) and backward compatibility with Cat5e and Cat5 standards. The unshielded twisted pair (UTP) construction reduces crosstalk and electromagnetic interference, ensuring stable data transfer over its 50-foot length. The gold-plated RJ-45 connectors enhance signal integrity and resist corrosion, providing a secure connection for network equipment.
The Plenum CMP-rated jacket is flame-retardant and low-smoke, meeting safety requirements for use in plenum spaces like drop ceilings and raised floors. This cable is booted for added strain relief, protecting the connectors from damage during frequent plugging and unplugging. It is TAA compliant, making it suitable for government and institutional procurement where trade agreements apply.
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.

FAQ
What is the maximum data speed supported by this Cat6 cable?
This Cat6 cable supports data transmission up to Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T) speeds, with a bandwidth of 250 MHz. It is backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat5 standards, making it suitable for upgrading existing networks without replacing older equipment.
Why is the Plenum CMP rating important for this Ethernet cable?
The Plenum CMP rating indicates that the cable jacket is flame-retardant and produces low smoke, meeting safety standards for installation in plenum spaces like air ducts, drop ceilings, and raised floors. This is crucial in commercial buildings where fire codes require such ratings to prevent the spread of flames and toxic smoke.
What does 'non-booted' mean for this Ethernet cable?
Non-booted refers to the absence of a protective boot over the RJ-45 connectors. This design allows for easier insertion and removal in tight spaces, though the cable still includes strain relief features to protect the connection points. It is ideal for environments where frequent reconnections are not expected.
Can this cable be used outdoors or in wet conditions?
No, this cable is designed for indoor use in dry environments. The Plenum CMP rating is for indoor air-handling spaces, and it does not have weatherproofing or UV resistance for outdoor exposure. For outdoor applications, a cable with appropriate ratings like CMX or direct burial should be used.
What is the benefit of gold-plated connectors on this Ethernet cable?
Gold-plated connectors provide superior corrosion resistance and ensure reliable electrical contact over time. This enhances signal integrity and reduces the risk of connection failures, making the cable durable for high-use scenarios in offices, data centers, and other professional settings.
Does this cable come with a warranty, and what does it cover?
Yes, this cable includes a lifetime warranty from C2G. It covers defects in materials and workmanship under normal use, providing long-term assurance for network installations. For warranty claims, contact C2G support with proof of purchase, as terms may apply based on usage conditions.
What connectivity or interface options are available?
Connectivity options include RJ-45 Network - Male, helping the product integrate into common office or home setups.
