Product Features
Technical Overview
This Cat6 patch cable operates at 250MHz with 4-pair UTP construction, supporting multi-gigabit connections at 1, 2.5, 5, and 10Gbps. The 24 AWG stranded copper wiring is UL rated (E132276-A) and complies with IEEE 802.3bt for PoE++ applications, delivering up to 100W of power to devices like VoIP phones, security cameras, and wireless access points. The cable is individually tested to meet ANSI/TIA-568-2.D Category 6 specifications, ensuring reliable performance in structured cabling systems.
Connector quality is maintained through 50-micron gold plating on all contacts, which prevents oxidation and maintains electrical conductivity over repeated mating cycles. The CMG-rated PVC jacket provides protection against bending, fraying, and environmental damage, while the molded strain relief enhances durability at connection points. The cable's construction includes features specifically designed for PoE applications, reducing cable heating and ensuring safe power delivery across the entire 20-foot length.
