Product Features
Technical Overview
This Category 6 cable utilizes 24 AWG copper conductors in an unshielded twisted pair (UTP) configuration, delivering performance up to 550 MHz. The gold-plated RJ-45 contacts minimize signal loss and corrosion for consistent connectivity.
The cable construction includes molded boots at both ends that feature snagless design to prevent catching on rack components or other cables. This design also incorporates strain relief to protect the cable-to-connector junction from physical stress.
Key Product Advantages
This patch cable combines practical network functionality with durable construction features that extend cable life in active environments.
Reliable Connectivity
Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors ensure low-resistance contacts that maintain signal quality over repeated connection cycles.

FAQ
What type of connectors does this cable have?
This cable features RJ-45 male connectors on both ends with gold-plated contacts. Each end has a single RJ-45 connector, making it suitable for standard Ethernet connections between network devices, switches, routers, or wall jacks.
Is this cable shielded or unshielded?
This is an unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable. It does not include additional shielding layers, which makes it more flexible and cost-effective for typical office environments where electromagnetic interference is not a significant concern.
What is the purpose of the snagless boot?
The snagless molded boot prevents the connector from catching on other cables, rack components, or equipment during installation and maintenance. It also provides strain relief to protect the connection point between the cable and connector from physical stress that could damage the internal wiring.
What network speeds does this CAT6 cable support?
This Category 6 cable supports Ethernet standards including 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, and 1000BASE-T (Gigabit Ethernet). With its 550 MHz bandwidth rating and 24 AWG conductors, it provides reliable performance for most business network applications requiring up to Gigabit speeds.
