Product Features
Technical Overview
This CAT6 patch cable adheres to industry standards for performance and compatibility. It uses unshielded twisted pair (UTP) construction with 24 AWG copper conductors, delivering stable signal integrity over its 20-foot length. The cable is rated for 550MHz, supporting data rates up to 10 Gbps over shorter distances and ensuring backward compatibility with CAT5e and CAT5 networks.
The connectors are precision-engineered with gold-plated contacts to minimize signal loss and resist oxidation. The snagless boot design prevents the retention clip from catching on ports or other cables, simplifying installation and reducing wear.
Key Product Advantages
This cable combines durability, performance, and ease of use for network deployments. Its robust construction and thoughtful design features make it a reliable choice for both temporary and permanent installations.
Enhanced Durability
The snagless molded boot provides strain relief and protects the connector from physical damage, extending the cable's lifespan in high-traffic environments.
- Prevents clip snagging
- Reduces installation stress

FAQ
What is the maximum data speed supported by this CAT6 cable?
This CAT6 cable supports data transfer speeds up to 10 Gbps over shorter distances, typically up to 55 meters, and is fully capable of Gigabit Ethernet (1 Gbps) over its entire 20-foot length. The 550MHz bandwidth ensures reliable performance for high-speed network applications, including streaming, large file transfers, and VoIP.
Are both ends of the cable male RJ-45 connectors?
Yes, both ends feature identical male RJ-45 connectors. Each end has a single RJ-45 plug with gold-plated contacts, making it suitable for standard patch cable applications such as connecting computers to switches, routers to modems, or other network devices with female RJ-45 ports.
Does this cable have shielding to reduce interference?
No, this is an unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable. It relies on twisted pair construction to minimize electromagnetic interference, making it ideal for typical office or home environments where heavy shielding is not required. For areas with high interference, consider shielded CAT6 options.
What is the purpose of the snagless boot on the connectors?
The snagless molded boot prevents the RJ-45 retention clip from catching on other cables, ports, or rack components during installation or removal. This design reduces the risk of damage to the clip and connector, simplifies cable management, and extends the cable's lifespan in frequently reconfigured setups.
