Product Features
Technical Overview
This CAT6 patch cable delivers performance up to 550 MHz, supporting Gigabit Ethernet and other high-speed network protocols. The S/FTP shielding combines overall foil shielding with individual pair foil shielding, providing superior protection against electromagnetic and radio frequency interference compared to unshielded or minimally shielded alternatives.
The gold-plated RJ45 contacts ensure optimal conductivity and corrosion resistance, maintaining reliable connections over time. The snagless molded boots prevent accidental disconnection in crowded patch panels while protecting the connector latch from damage. The 26 AWG stranded copper conductors balance flexibility with current-carrying capacity.

FAQ
What does S/FTP shielding mean for this cable?
S/FTP stands for Shielded/Foiled Twisted Pair, indicating this cable has both an overall foil shield around all conductor pairs and individual foil shields around each twisted pair. This dual-layer shielding provides superior protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI) compared to unshielded (UTP) or minimally shielded cables, making it ideal for environments with electrical noise from nearby equipment or power sources.
What is the advantage of gold-plated connectors?
The gold plating on the RJ45 connectors provides excellent corrosion resistance and maintains optimal electrical conductivity over time. Gold doesn't oxidize like other metals, ensuring consistent signal transmission through multiple insertion cycles. The 50-microinch gold plating creates a reliable connection surface that reduces insertion loss and maintains signal integrity, which is particularly important for high-frequency Category 6 applications up to 550 MHz.
How does the snagless boot design benefit installation?
The snagless molded boots feature a protective cover over the RJ45 connector latch that prevents the latch from catching on other cables or equipment during installation and removal. This design eliminates accidental disconnections in crowded patch panels and protects the delicate latch mechanism from damage. The boots also provide strain relief where the cable meets the connector, reducing stress on the internal connections during movement or cable management.
What types of network devices is this cable compatible with?
This CAT6 patch cable is compatible with any network device featuring standard RJ45 Ethernet ports, including switches, routers, servers, network-attached storage (NAS) devices, computers, printers, and other Ethernet-enabled equipment. It supports Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T) and is backward compatible with Fast Ethernet (100BASE-TX) and Ethernet (10BASE-T) standards. The cable meets TIA/EIA-568-C.2 specifications for Category 6 performance.
