Product Features
Technical Overview
This CAT6 patch cable utilizes 100% copper conductors to ensure error-free multi-gigabit connections at 1, 2.5, 5, and 10 Gbps speeds, with 10Gbps performance maintained up to 160 feet. The 50-micron gold-plated connectors enhance conductivity and resist rust, reducing the risk of network downtime. The cable is Fluke patch cord tested and ETL verified for compliance with industry standards.
Power over Ethernet support is robust, with UL Rated Wiring (E132276-A) enabling up to 100W power delivery in compliance with IEEE 802.3bt and DTE power standards. This reduces cable heating and ensures safe operation for PoE++ devices. The CMG-rated PVC jacket offers flexibility and resistance to bending, fraying, and environmental damage.
Key Product Advantages
This cable combines high-speed data transfer with substantial power delivery, making it a versatile solution for modern network infrastructures. The snagless design and molded strain relief protect against physical stress at termination points, extending cable lifespan in high-traffic installations.
Enhanced Durability
The PVC jacket and molded boots provide excellent resistance to damage, corrosion, and bending, ensuring reliable performance in demanding environments.
- Fray-resistant construction
- Rust-resistant connectors
- Bend-resistant jacket
Broad Compatibility
Works with Cat5e and earlier standards, supporting a wide range of network devices, workstations, wall outlets, distribution panels, VoIP devices, security systems, and hubs.
Deployment / Use Cases
Ideal for connecting network switches to endpoints in office environments, data centers, and commercial buildings. The 15-foot length provides flexibility for routing around desks, through cable management systems, or across small server racks.
Common applications include linking VoIP phones and security cameras that require both data and power over a single cable. The gray color allows for departmental color coding, while the snagless boots facilitate easy insertion and removal in crowded patch panels without catching on adjacent cables.
Physical Profile
This patch cable features a gray PVC jacket that is both visually discreet and durable. The snagless molded boots at each end are color-matched to the cable and designed to prevent snagging during installation. With an approximate weight of 7.30 oz (206.95 g), the cable is lightweight yet robust enough for permanent or temporary deployments.
