Product Features
Technical Overview
This Cat6 patch cable operates at 650MHz frequency with UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) construction, certified to comply with ANSI/TIA-568-2.D Category 6 standards. The cable undergoes Fluke patch cord testing and ETL verification to ensure performance consistency across its entire length.
The 50-micron gold-plated connectors provide durable, rust-resistant contacts that maintain signal integrity over repeated connections. Molded snagless boots protect the RJ45 terminations from sharp bends and physical stress during installation in wiring conduits or constrained spaces.
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 Ethernet cable combines high-performance networking with practical installation features for IT professionals and network administrators. The green PVC jacket enables departmental color coding while providing bend resistance and protection against fraying damage in high-traffic areas.
PoE Ready Design
The 24 AWG stranded copper conductors and UL Rated Wiring (E132276-A) support IEEE 802.3bt and DTE power compliance, delivering up to 100W for Power over Ethernet applications while minimizing cable heating.
- Supports VoIP phones
- Powers security systems
- Reduces cable clutter
Enhanced Durability
Molded strain relief prevents sharp bending at connector termination points, while gold-plated contacts resist corrosion and rust that can cause network downtime.
- Snagless boot design
- Corrosion resistant
- Strain relief protection
Deployment / Use Cases
This 50-foot Cat6 patch cable serves as a versatile connectivity solution for various network infrastructure requirements. Its length makes it ideal for connecting devices across server rooms, office workstations, or between distribution panels and wall outlets.
The cable supports network devices, workstations, hubs, wall outlets, and distribution panels in commercial installations. IT teams can deploy these cables for connecting switches to patch panels, extending network connections to remote workstations, or providing temporary network access during office reconfigurations.
Physical Profile
The cable features a green Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) jacket with CMG rating, providing flame-retardant properties suitable for commercial installations. Weighing approximately 1.36 lb (615.18 g), the cable maintains manageable handling during installation while the snagless boot design prevents catching on rack edges or conduit openings.
