Product Features
Technical Overview
This CAT6 patch cable operates at 250 MHz and uses Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) construction with 24 AWG stranded copper wiring. It supports data transfer rates up to 10Gbps at distances up to 160 feet, backward compatible with CAT5e networks. The cable is UL rated (E132276-A) for PoE applications up to 100W, compliant with IEEE 802.3bt and DTE power standards to minimize cable heating.
The connectors feature 50-micron gold plating for optimal signal integrity and corrosion resistance. The CMG-rated PVC jacket provides flame-retardant properties suitable for commercial installations. Each cable is individually tested to ensure compliance with ANSI/TIA-568-2.D Category 6 specifications.
