Product Features
Technical Overview
Built to Category 6 standards, this cable uses 28 AWG copper conductors within a polyvinyl chloride (PVC) jacket, providing flexibility and durability. The CM (communications) jacket rating indicates suitability for use in plenum spaces, offering fire resistance and low smoke emission in compliance with building codes.
The RJ-45 male connectors on both ends feature a clear-claw snagless boot that prevents the retention clip from catching on other cables or equipment, simplifying cable management and reducing wear. The UTP shielding eliminates the need for grounding, making installation straightforward in most network setups.
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.
