Product Features
Technical Overview
This Cat6 patch cable meets TIA/EIA-568-B.2-1 standards for enhanced performance in Gigabit Ethernet networks. The cable construction includes minimized Near-End Crosstalk (NEXT) to reduce signal interference, ensuring stable data transmission across connected devices.
The molded strain relief at each connector junction provides durability against repeated plugging and unplugging cycles. With an approximate weight of 2.08 oz (58.97 g), this cable offers a lightweight yet robust solution for permanent installations or temporary patching needs.
Key Product Advantages
This patch cable combines practical design features with professional-grade performance for IT infrastructure deployments. The plenum-rated jacket meets UL 910 standards for low smoke and flame spread, making it suitable for installation in plenum spaces without conduit requirements.
Enhanced Durability
Molded strain relief and snagless boots protect connectors from physical damage and accidental dislodging during routine maintenance or cable reorganization.
- Molded construction
- Strain relief
- Snagless boot design
Signal Integrity
Minimized Near-End Crosstalk (NEXT) maintains signal clarity for reliable data transmission in high-density network environments.
- Reduced crosstalk
- Stable Gigabit performance
- Twisted-pair optimization
Deployment / Use Cases
This Cat6 patch cable is designed for connecting network equipment in office environments, data centers, educational facilities, and commercial installations. The 5 ft length provides flexibility for short-run connections between adjacent devices in rack cabinets or desktop setups.
Common applications include linking switches to patch panels, connecting routers to modems, extending network connections to workstations, and integrating with existing Cat5e or Cat6 infrastructure. The green color allows for easy visual identification in complex cable bundles, simplifying troubleshooting and maintenance procedures.
Physical Profile
The cable features a green plenum jacket that provides both visual distinction and compliance with fire safety regulations for air-handling spaces. With a compact 5 ft length and lightweight construction, this patch cable integrates seamlessly into existing cable management systems without adding unnecessary bulk or weight.

FAQ
What is the maximum data speed supported by this Cat6 patch cable?
This Category 6 patch cable supports Gigabit Ethernet speeds up to 1 Gbps over distances up to 100 meters. It meets TIA/EIA-568-B.2-1 standards for enhanced performance in modern network environments, making it suitable for connecting high-speed switches, routers, and network adapters.
Can this cable be installed in plenum spaces without conduit?
Yes, this cable features a plenum-rated jacket that meets UL 910 standards for low smoke and flame spread. This certification allows installation in air-handling plenum spaces without requiring additional conduit, making it suitable for commercial buildings, offices, and data centers where fire safety regulations apply.
What are the benefits of the snagless boot design?
The snagless boot design prevents the connector latch from catching on other cables or equipment during installation or maintenance. This feature reduces accidental disconnections in crowded rack environments and extends the cable's lifespan by protecting the delicate RJ-45 connector mechanism from physical damage.
Is this cable backward compatible with older network equipment?
Yes, this Cat6 patch cable maintains full backward compatibility with Cat5e and Cat5 network equipment. The RJ-45 male connectors work with standard Ethernet ports on switches, routers, patch panels, and network adapters, allowing seamless integration into existing network infrastructure while providing improved performance headroom.
