Product Features
Technical Overview
This Cat6 cable supports data transmission up to 550 MHz, making it suitable for Gigabit Ethernet and other high-speed network applications. The 24 AWG copper conductors provide optimal signal integrity over the full 100-foot length, minimizing crosstalk and ensuring consistent performance.
The cable is built as a patch cable, which means it's optimized for flexible, short-to-medium distance connections within racks, between devices, or across office spaces. It is fully compatible with network devices that use standard RJ-45 ports, including computers, printers, IP phones, and network switches.
Key Product Advantages
This cable delivers essential performance and durability for everyday networking needs. Its design focuses on practical reliability and ease of use in professional settings.
Long-Distance Connectivity
The 100-foot length provides ample reach for connecting devices across larger rooms, between floors, or in expansive office layouts without signal degradation.
- Supports full 100 ft Cat6 performance
- Ideal for extended network runs
Durable Construction
Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors resist corrosion and ensure repeated mating cycles, while the 24 AWG wiring maintains signal strength over the entire cable length.
- Gold contacts for reliable connections
- 24 AWG for consistent performance
Practical Design
The non-booted ends allow for easier handling in dense patch panels, and the black jacket provides a clean, professional look that matches most networking environments.
- Non-booted for tight spaces
- Black color for discreet installation
Deployment / Use Cases
This cable is versatile enough for various networking scenarios where reliable, high-speed connections are needed over medium distances. It serves as a practical component in both permanent installations and temporary setups.
Common applications include connecting workstations to network switches in office environments, linking networking equipment in server rooms or data centers, and extending connections for IP phones, security cameras, or wireless access points. The 100-foot length makes it particularly useful for runs that exceed typical patch cable distances but don't require bulk cable installations.
Office Network Expansion
Use to connect devices in different parts of an office, such as linking a router in a wiring closet to a switch in a distant department or connecting remote workstations to central network infrastructure.
Temporary or Event Networking
Ideal for trade shows, conferences, or temporary office setups where you need reliable Ethernet connections over longer distances without permanent installation.

FAQ
What is the maximum data speed supported by this Cat6 cable?
This Category 6 cable supports data transmission up to 550 MHz, which is suitable for Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T) and other high-speed network protocols. It provides reliable performance for most business networking applications, including data transfer, VoIP, and video streaming over the full 100-foot length.
Can I use this cable for outdoor installations?
This cable is designed as a standard patch cable for indoor use. While it features environmentally friendly construction, it does not have specific outdoor-rated shielding or jacket protection. For outdoor installations, consider cables specifically rated for exterior use with appropriate weatherproofing and UV resistance.
What does 'non-booted' mean for this Ethernet cable?
Non-booted refers to the RJ-45 connectors lacking protective rubber boots around the connector ends. This design makes the connectors slimmer and easier to insert and remove in tight spaces, such as densely populated patch panels or equipment with closely spaced ports. It provides practical advantages in managed networking environments where frequent connection changes occur.
Is this cable compatible with Cat5e equipment?
Yes, this Cat6 cable is fully backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat5 equipment. The RJ-45 connectors use the same standard pinout, so you can connect it to any device with an RJ-45 Ethernet port. When used with Cat5e equipment, it will operate at the lower specification's maximum speed while providing the durability and construction benefits of Cat6 cabling.
