Product Features
Technical Overview
Built to Category 6 specifications, this cable delivers enhanced performance over previous standards, supporting data rates up to 1 Gbps at 100 meters. The S/FTP shielding combines overall foil shielding with individual pair shielding, providing superior protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI).
The 26 AWG stranded copper conductors offer flexibility and durability for frequent handling. The cable is environmentally friendly and backed by a lifetime limited warranty, ensuring long-term reliability.
Key Product Advantages
This patch cable combines robust construction with practical features to deliver reliable network performance. The shielding and gold-plated contacts minimize signal loss and interference, while the snagless boot prevents accidental disconnections in tight spaces.

FAQ
What is the difference between S/FTP and UTP shielding?
S/FTP shielding includes both an overall foil shield around all pairs and individual foil shielding around each twisted pair, providing superior protection against electromagnetic and radio frequency interference. UTP cables have no shielding, making S/FTP ideal for environments with high electrical noise.
Can this cable support 10 Gigabit Ethernet?
This Category 6 cable is rated for bandwidth up to 550 MHz and supports data rates up to 1 Gbps. For 10 Gigabit Ethernet, Category 6a or higher cables are typically recommended, as they support higher frequencies and longer distances.
What does the snagless boot feature do?
The snagless molded boot covers the RJ45 connector's retention clip, preventing it from catching on other cables, ports, or rack components during installation or removal. This reduces the risk of damage to the connector and makes cable management easier in tight spaces.
Is this cable suitable for outdoor use?
This cable is designed for indoor use. For outdoor applications, cables with specific weather-resistant jackets and UV protection are required. Always check the manufacturer's specifications for environmental ratings before deploying cables outdoors.
