Product Features
Technical Overview
This patch cable meets Category 6 specifications with 550 MHz bandwidth capability, supporting data transfer rates up to 1 Gbps. The four-pair UTP construction utilizes minimized near-end crosstalk (NEXT) technology to reduce signal interference and maintain data integrity across the entire cable length.
The cable's unshielded twisted pair design is suitable for most office and data center environments where electromagnetic interference is controlled. With IEC 802.3ab compliance, the cable ensures compatibility with standard Ethernet networking equipment including switches, routers, and network interface cards.
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

User Manual
FAQ
What is the maximum data transfer rate supported by this cable?
This Tripp Lite Cat6 patch cable supports data transfer rates up to 1 Gbit/s (gigabit per second). It meets Category 6 specifications with 550 MHz bandwidth, ensuring reliable performance for gigabit Ethernet networks in office and data center environments.
What type of connectors does this cable have on each end?
Both ends of the cable feature RJ-45 male connectors. Each connector has gold-plated contacts for optimal signal transmission and corrosion resistance. The connectors include snagless boots that provide strain relief and prevent accidental disconnection during cable management.
Is this cable shielded or unshielded?
This is an unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable. It does not include additional shielding layers, making it suitable for most office environments where electromagnetic interference is controlled. The cable utilizes twisted pair construction and minimized near-end crosstalk technology to maintain signal integrity.
What does the CM jacket rating mean for installation?
The CM (Communications Multipurpose) rating indicates the cable jacket meets flame-retardant standards for use in plenum spaces and riser applications. This makes the cable suitable for installation in air handling spaces and vertical runs between floors in commercial buildings, complying with building code requirements for network cabling.
Can this cable be used with Category 5e or Category 5 equipment?
Yes, this Category 6 cable is backward compatible with Category 5e and Category 5 networking equipment. It will maintain the performance level of the lower category equipment while providing headroom for future upgrades to Category 6 compatible devices. The cable supports standard Ethernet protocols across all three categories.
What warranty coverage does this cable include?
Tripp Lite provides a lifetime limited warranty for this patch cable. This warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship for the life of the product when used under normal conditions. The warranty demonstrates the manufacturer's confidence in the cable's durability and long-term performance in networking applications.
