Product Features
Technical Overview
This Cat6 patch cable supports data transfer rates up to 1 Gbit/s with a frequency rating of 250 MHz, making it suitable for Gigabit Ethernet networks. The 26 AWG stranded copper conductors ensure durability and flexibility, while the S/FTP shielding configuration combines overall foil shielding with individually foil-twisted pairs to minimize crosstalk and external interference.
The cable incorporates Near End Crosstalk (NEXT) protection to maintain signal integrity in high-density installations. The CM (Communications Multipurpose) PVC jacket is rated for use in plenum spaces and general-purpose applications, providing flame-retardant properties for safety compliance.
This section brings together practical product details such as Cable Type, Cable Characteristic, Cable Length, Product Color, so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.
Key Product Advantages

FAQ
What is the difference between this Cat6 cable and Cat5e?
This Cat6 cable supports higher frequency (250 MHz vs. 100 MHz for Cat5e) and provides better crosstalk protection, making it more suitable for Gigabit Ethernet networks and environments with potential interference. The S/FTP shielding offers additional protection against electromagnetic interference compared to unshielded Cat5e cables.
Can this cable be used for PoE (Power over Ethernet) applications?
Yes, this Cat6 patch cable supports PoE applications. The 26 AWG conductors and S/FTP shielding are compatible with PoE standards, allowing you to deliver both data and power to devices like IP cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP phones over a single cable connection.
What does the CM rating on the jacket mean?
CM stands for Communications Multipurpose, indicating the jacket meets specific flame-retardant requirements for use in general building spaces. This rating ensures the cable is suitable for installation in plenum areas and complies with commercial building codes for network cabling safety standards.
How does the S/FTP shielding protect against interference?
S/FTP shielding combines an overall foil shield around all conductor pairs with individual foil shielding around each twisted pair. This dual-layer approach provides excellent protection against both external electromagnetic interference (EMI) and internal crosstalk between pairs, ensuring clean signal transmission in electrically noisy environments.
Is this cable suitable for outdoor use?
No, this cable is designed for indoor use. The CM PVC jacket is rated for commercial indoor installations but is not waterproof or UV-resistant for outdoor applications. For outdoor deployments, you would need specifically rated outdoor Ethernet cables with appropriate environmental protection.
What devices are compatible with this patch cable?
This cable is compatible with any network device featuring RJ-45 ports, including computers, switches, routers, printers, IP cameras, and access points. It supports 10/100/1000 Mbps network speeds and is ideal for connecting equipment in office networks, data centers, and commercial installations where reliable Gigabit Ethernet performance is required.
