Product Features
Technical Overview
This Cat.6a cable meets the stringent requirements for high-speed Ethernet networks, supporting bandwidth up to 500 MHz. The 26 AWG stranded copper conductors provide flexibility and durability, making the cable resistant to cracking, breaking, and damage from repeated bending or movement. The CM-rated PVC jacket is suitable for use in commercial building spaces, offering flame-retardant properties and compliance with safety standards.
Key technical features include Power over Ethernet (PoE) support, which allows the cable to deliver both data and electrical power to compatible devices such as VoIP phones, surveillance cameras, and wireless access points. The design incorporates strain relief to protect the connector junction and minimizes near-end crosstalk (NEXT) for clear signal transmission. The cable's black color provides a professional appearance that blends seamlessly with most networking equipment and environments.
Key Product Advantages
This patch cable delivers robust performance and longevity for critical network connections.
