Product Features
Technical Overview
This Cat6 cable supports high-speed data transfer rates up to 1 Gbps over 100 meters, with the 5 ft length optimized for short-run patch applications. The RJ-45 male connectors on both ends provide a secure physical interface with network switches, routers, computers, and other Ethernet-enabled devices.
The 28 AWG wire gauge contributes to the cable's slim form factor without compromising performance. Features like molded strain relief and minimized near-end crosstalk (NEXT) enhance durability and signal clarity, reducing interference in dense cable environments.
Key Product Advantages
This cable combines practical design elements with reliable networking performance. The snagless boot prevents connector latch damage during installation, while the slim profile allows for easier cable management in tight spaces.
Enhanced Durability
Molded strain relief and booted connectors protect against physical stress, extending cable lifespan in high-traffic network setups.
- Snagless boot design
- Molded strain relief
- Stable connection retention
Optimized Performance
Cat6 specifications ensure minimal signal degradation, with features like minimized near-end crosstalk supporting clear data transmission.
- Category 6 compliance
- Minimized NEXT

FAQ
What is the maximum data transfer speed supported by this Cat6 cable?
This Category 6 cable supports data transfer speeds up to 1 Gigabit per second (Gbps) at 100 MHz bandwidth. It is backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat5 standards, making it suitable for most office and home networking applications requiring stable high-speed connectivity.
Are both ends of this Ethernet cable the same connector type?
Yes, both ends feature identical RJ-45 male connectors. Each end has one RJ-45 Network - Male connector, providing a standard interface for connecting to network switches, routers, computers, printers, and other Ethernet-enabled devices without requiring adapters.
What does 'snagless boot' mean on this network cable?
The snagless boot is a protective cover over the RJ-45 connector latch that prevents it from catching on other cables or equipment during installation or removal. This design reduces the risk of damaging the connector latch and helps maintain a secure connection in crowded network environments.
Is this cable suitable for outdoor or industrial use?
This is an unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable designed for typical indoor environments. It does not have weatherproofing or significant electromagnetic interference protection, making it best suited for office, home, data center, and other controlled indoor settings rather than outdoor or heavy industrial applications.
