FAQ
What is the maximum data speed supported by this Cat6 cable?
This Tripp Lite Cat6 UTP patch cable supports data rates up to 1 Gbps (Gigabit Ethernet) with a bandwidth of 550 MHz. It meets Category 6 specifications for reduced crosstalk and stable high-speed performance in network environments.
How long is this patch cable, and what are its connector types?
The cable measures 15 feet (4.57 meters) in length. Both ends feature RJ-45 male connectors, making it compatible with standard Ethernet ports on switches, routers, computers, and other network devices.
What does 'snagless boot' mean on this cable?
The snagless boot is a protective cover over the RJ-45 connector latch that prevents it from catching on other cables, ports, or rack components during installation or movement. This reduces the risk of accidental disconnection and port damage.
Is this cable suitable for outdoor use or harsh environments?
No, this is an indoor patch cable with a PVC jacket designed for office, data center, and commercial indoor applications. It is not rated for outdoor exposure, direct burial, or extreme environmental conditions.
What warranty comes with this Tripp Lite Cat6 cable?
Tripp Lite provides a lifetime limited warranty for this patch cable, covering defects in materials and workmanship under normal use. This reflects the product's durable construction and reliability for long-term networking deployments.
Can this cable be used with Category 5e or Category 5 equipment?
Yes, this Cat6 cable is backward compatible with Category 5e and Category 5 applications. It will work with older devices but will operate at the lower specifications of those categories unless connected to Cat6-compatible equipment.
