Product Features
Technical Overview
This CAT6 cable supports bandwidth up to 550 MHz, enabling Gigabit Ethernet speeds and backward compatibility with CAT5e and CAT5 standards. The 26 AWG stranded copper conductors offer flexibility for routing in tight spaces while maintaining performance.
The S/FTP shielding combines overall foil shielding with individual pair shielding, significantly reducing crosstalk and external interference. This construction meets TIA/EIA-568-C.2 standards for Category 6 cabling.
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.

FAQ
What is the difference between S/FTP and UTP shielding?
S/FTP (Shielded/Foiled Twisted Pair) provides both overall foil shielding around all pairs and individual foil shielding around each pair, offering superior protection against electromagnetic interference compared to UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair). This makes S/FTP cables ideal for environments with electrical noise or where signal integrity is critical.
Can this cable support 10 Gigabit Ethernet?
This CAT6 cable supports bandwidth up to 550 MHz, which is designed for Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T) applications. For 10 Gigabit Ethernet over copper, CAT6a or higher category cables are typically recommended, as they support higher frequencies and longer distances.
What devices can I connect with this patch cable?
You can connect any network devices with RJ45 ports, including switches, routers, computers, servers, network-attached storage (NAS), IP phones, and network printers. The cable is fully compatible with standard Ethernet equipment supporting 10/100/1000 Mbps speeds.
Why are the connectors gold-plated?
Gold plating on the RJ45 contacts provides corrosion resistance, ensuring reliable electrical connections over time. Gold does not oxidize like other metals, maintaining signal integrity and reducing connection issues in various environmental conditions.
