Technical Overview
This CAT6 patch cable meets ANSI/TIA-568-2.D specifications and is ETL verified for compliance. The 24 AWG stranded copper wiring supports Power over Ethernet up to 100W, compatible with IEEE 802.3bt standards for powering devices like VoIP phones, security cameras, and wireless access points.
The unshielded twisted pair (UTP) construction with CMG-rated jacket provides reliable performance in typical office and data center environments. With 50-micron gold plating on the connectors and robust strain relief design, the cable maintains electrical continuity even with frequent plugging and unplugging.
This section brings together practical product details such as Cable Type, Cable Characteristic, Cable Length, Color Family, so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.
Key Product Advantages
This cable combines performance durability with installation convenience. The snagless boot design prevents catches on rack edges and other obstacles, while the flexible construction allows easy routing through conduits and tight spaces.
Enhanced Durability
The molded boots and stranded conductors resist bending, fraying, and physical stress, extending cable life in high-traffic installations.
- Strain relief design
- Corrosion-resistant connectors
- Flexible PVC jacket
Backward Compatibility
Works seamlessly with Cat5e and earlier network equipment, providing an upgrade path without requiring infrastructure changes.
- Multi-gigabit support
- Standard RJ45 connectors
- UTP construction
Deployment / Use Cases
This 9-foot patch cable is ideal for connecting network devices in office environments, data centers, and commercial installations. The length provides flexibility for connecting equipment within racks, between workstations and wall jacks, or linking network components in server rooms.
Common applications include connecting computers to network switches, linking VoIP phones to PoE switches, attaching security cameras to NVRs, and extending connections from patch panels to active equipment. The white color blends with light-colored walls and furniture in professional settings.
Office Networking
Connect workstations, laptops, and docking stations to network infrastructure with reliable gigabit and multi-gigabit performance.
PoE Device Power
Deliver both data and power to compatible devices like IP phones, wireless access points, and security systems up to 100W.
Physical Profile
The cable features a clean white PVC jacket that resists discoloration and maintains appearance in visible installations. Weighing approximately 4 ounces, it's lightweight enough for overhead routing while durable enough for under-desk or in-conduit use. The 9-foot length provides practical reach for most patch applications without excessive cable management.
