Product Features
Technical Overview
Built to Category 6 specifications, this cable delivers enhanced bandwidth and reduced signal loss compared to older standards. The 24 AWG copper conductors maintain signal integrity, while the CM-rated PVC jacket meets commercial building code requirements for riser applications.
The RJ-45 male connectors on both ends feature gold-plated contacts for corrosion resistance and reliable electrical connectivity. The snagless boot design prevents the retention clip from snagging on other cables or equipment, simplifying installation and reducing wear.
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 cable supports data transfer speeds up to 1 Gigabit per second (Gbps) at distances up to 100 meters. It is backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat5 networks, making it suitable for upgrading existing infrastructure without replacing all equipment.
Can this cable be used for Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications?
Yes, the 24 AWG copper conductors and UTP construction support Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications, allowing you to deliver both data and power to devices like IP cameras, VoIP phones, and wireless access points through a single cable connection.
What does the CM jacket rating mean for this cable?
The CM (Communications Multipurpose) jacket rating indicates that this cable meets specific fire safety standards for use in riser applications within commercial buildings. It is suitable for vertical runs between floors, providing compliance with building codes while ensuring safe installation in office environments.
How does the snagless bubble boot protect the connectors?
The snagless bubble boot covers the RJ-45 connector's retention clip, preventing it from catching on other cables, ports, or equipment during insertion or removal. This design reduces wear on the clip, extends the cable's lifespan, and makes installation smoother in crowded network cabinets.
Is this cable shielded or unshielded?
This cable uses Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) construction, which means it relies on twisted wire pairs to reduce electromagnetic interference rather than additional shielding layers. UTP is ideal for most indoor environments where extreme interference is not a concern, offering a cost-effective and flexible solution.
What devices are compatible with this Ethernet cable?
This cable is compatible with any device featuring an RJ-45 Ethernet port, including patch panels, hubs, switches, media converters, routers, computers, printers, and network storage devices. Its standard male-to-male connectors ensure plug-and-play functionality in both home and business networks.
