Technical Overview
This Cat6 patch cable operates at 250 MHz and complies with ANSI/TIA-568.2-D standards for Category 6 performance. The 4-pair UTP construction with ANSI/T568B wiring supports multi-gigabit connections at 1Gbps, 2.5Gbps, 5Gbps, and 10Gbps speeds.
The cable features IEEE 802.3bt PoE++ compatibility, delivering up to 100W of power to connected devices while minimizing cable heating. The 50-micron gold-plated contacts resist corrosion, and the high-quality PVC CMG jacket provides bend and fray resistance.
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.
Key Product Advantages
This cable combines performance, durability, and installation convenience for professional network deployments. The molded construction and snagless boots prevent damage during cable management, while the environmental certifications ensure responsible manufacturing.
Reliable Power Delivery
The 24 AWG copper conductors and UL-rated wiring support PoE++ applications up to 100W, making this cable ideal for powering VoIP phones, security cameras, and wireless access points without separate power supplies.
Durable Construction
Gold-plated connectors resist rust and corrosion, while the PVC jacket provides protection against bending, fraying, and environmental damage. The molded strain relief adds longevity in high-use scenarios.
Standards Compliance
Individually tested to meet ANSI/TIA-568-2.D Category 6 specifications with ETL verification. The cable is backward compatible with Cat5e networks and supports standard network topologies.
Deployment / Use Cases
This 20-foot Cat6 patch cable is designed for connecting network equipment in office environments, data centers, and commercial installations. The white color blends with modern interiors while providing clear cable identification.
Common applications include connecting computers to wall outlets, linking switches to patch panels, powering VoIP telephones, and integrating security devices into network infrastructure. The cable works with network devices, workstations, hubs, distribution panels, and security systems.
Office Network Expansion
Extend network connections between workstations and wall outlets or switches in open-plan offices and cubicle environments. The 20-foot length provides flexibility for desk arrangements.
PoE Device Installation
Power and connect VoIP phones, wireless access points, and security cameras using a single cable. The 100W PoE++ support eliminates the need for separate power adapters at device locations.
Physical Profile
The cable features a white PVC CMG jacket that resists damage while maintaining flexibility for routing through conduits and cable organizers. The snagless boots prevent accidental disconnection in high-density patch panels, and the molded connectors provide strain relief at termination points.
The physical profile is practical for deployment planning because the dimensions and weight are clearly defined: 8.80 oz (249.48 g). This helps confirm rack, shelf, desk, or cabinet fit before installation.
