Product Features
Technical Overview
This Cat6 patch cable utilizes a solid conductor 4-pair design, which drastically reduces impedance and structural return loss for superior performance in long-distance patch runs. The high-quality copper wire and shortened body plug design enhance signal clarity and durability.
The cable is booted and stranded for added protection against wear and tear, while the snagless boot prevents the connector from catching on other cables or equipment during installation and maintenance.
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.

User Manual
FAQ
What is the maximum length for reliable Gigabit Ethernet with this Cat6 cable?
This cable is 175 feet (53.34 meters) long and is designed for reliable Gigabit Ethernet performance over its entire length. The solid conductor construction minimizes signal loss, making it suitable for extended patch runs without degradation, though always adhere to network design best practices for your specific installation.
Are both ends of this patch cable male RJ45 connectors?
Yes, both ends feature RJ45 male connectors. This male-to-male configuration is standard for connecting network devices like computers, switches, and routers, providing a direct plug-and-play solution for Ethernet connections.
What does 'snagless boot' mean on this patch cable?
The snagless boot is a protective cover over the RJ45 connector that prevents it from catching on other cables or equipment in dense patch panels. This design reduces the risk of accidental disconnections and makes installation and maintenance easier in crowded networking environments.
How does solid conductor differ from stranded conductor in patch cables?
Solid conductor cables use a single, continuous piece of copper for each wire, which reduces impedance and structural return loss, making them ideal for long-distance runs like this 175-foot cable. Stranded conductor cables are more flexible but may have higher signal loss over extended lengths, so solid conductor is preferred for infrastructure backbone links.
Is this Cat6 cable RoHS compliant?
Yes, this cable is RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) compliant, meaning it meets environmental standards by limiting the use of specific hazardous materials. This makes it suitable for use in regions with strict environmental regulations and aligns with eco-friendly purchasing policies.
What warranty comes with this Tripp Lite by Eaton patch cable?
This patch cable includes a lifetime limited warranty from Tripp Lite by Eaton. This warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship for the life of the product, providing long-term assurance of quality and reliability for your network investments.
