Product Features
Technical Overview
This patch cable meets Category 6 standards, which include enhanced crosstalk and system noise specifications compared to earlier categories. The stranded conductor design offers flexibility for frequent handling and routing in tight spaces, reducing the risk of breakage during installation or reconfiguration.
The RJ-45 connectors are terminated with gold-plated contacts, which minimize signal loss and maintain reliable connections over time. The LSZH jacket material is low smoke zero halogen, making it suitable for use in environments where fire safety is a priority, as it emits minimal toxic fumes if exposed to heat.

FAQ
What is the maximum data speed supported by this Cat.6 cable?
This Ortronics Cat.6 UTP patch cable supports data transfer speeds up to 1 Gigabit per second (Gbps) over distances up to 100 meters. It is designed for high-performance networking applications, including streaming, file transfers, and VoIP, while maintaining backward compatibility with older Cat5e and Cat5 standards.
Are both ends of the cable male RJ-45 connectors?
Yes, both ends of this patch cable feature RJ-45 male connectors. Each end has a single RJ-45 connector, making it suitable for connecting devices like computers, switches, or routers directly without the need for adapters or gender changers in standard Ethernet setups.
What does LSZH jacket mean, and why is it important?
LSZH stands for Low Smoke Zero Halogen, a jacket material that emits minimal smoke and no toxic halogen gases when exposed to fire. This makes the cable safer for use in enclosed spaces like data centers, offices, or public buildings, where fire safety regulations may require reduced hazardous emissions.
Is this cable suitable for outdoor use?
No, this cable is designed for indoor use. The LSZH PVC jacket provides durability and safety for indoor environments but is not rated for outdoor exposure to elements like moisture, UV light, or extreme temperatures. For outdoor applications, consider cables specifically rated for exterior use.
