Product Features
Technical Overview
This Category 6 patch cable supports bandwidth up to 250 MHz, making it suitable for high-speed network applications including 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet. The 24 AWG copper conductors provide consistent signal integrity over the 6-foot length, minimizing crosstalk and ensuring reliable connectivity between network devices.
The RJ-45 connectors feature gold-plated contacts for corrosion resistance and optimal electrical conductivity. The snagless boot design protects the connector latch from accidental release when cables are bundled or pulled through tight spaces, reducing downtime from connection failures.
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 Category 6 Ethernet cable supports data transmission speeds up to 1000 Mbps (1 Gigabit per second) for 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet networks. The cable meets Category 6 specifications with bandwidth up to 250 MHz, ensuring reliable performance for high-speed network applications in business environments.
What types of devices can I connect with this patch cable?
This cable is compatible with standard network devices featuring RJ-45 ports, including computers, switches, routers, hubs, patch panels, and media converters. It's designed for Ethernet connections in office networks, server rooms, and commercial installations where reliable wired connectivity is required.
What does the 'snagless boot' feature provide?
The snagless bubble boot protects the RJ-45 connector latch from accidental release when cables are bundled, pulled through tight spaces, or during routine maintenance. This design prevents the latch from catching on other cables or equipment, reducing connection failures and downtime in network installations.
What is the significance of the CM jacket rating?
The CM (Communications Multipurpose) jacket rating indicates the cable meets safety standards for riser applications in commercial buildings. This rating ensures the PVC jacket material complies with fire safety codes for vertical runs between floors, making it suitable for standard office and commercial network installations.
How does UTP shielding affect cable performance?
Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) construction uses twisted copper pairs to reduce electromagnetic interference without additional shielding layers. This design provides reliable performance for most office environments while maintaining cable flexibility and cost-effectiveness for standard Ethernet applications.
What warranty coverage does this Ethernet cable include?
This AddOn Ethernet cable comes with a lifetime limited warranty, providing long-term assurance against manufacturing defects. The warranty covers the cable and connectors for the product's service life when used in normal network applications within specified operating conditions.
