Product Features
Technical Overview
This CAT6 patch cable operates at 250 MHz and complies with ANSI/TIA-568-2.D Category 6 standards, verified through ETL testing. The 4-pair UTP structure supports multi-gigabit connections at 1/2.5/5Gbps, with backward compatibility to CAT5e networks for seamless integration into existing infrastructure.
The cable features molded strain relief boots that protect the connector junctions from damage during installation and frequent handling. The 50-micron gold plating on the RJ45 contacts maintains signal integrity by preventing oxidation, while the UL-rated wiring (E132276-A) ensures safe power delivery for PoE applications up to IEEE 802.3bt standards.
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.
