Product Features
Technical Overview
This CAT6 patch cable operates at a 250 MHz frequency and uses an unshielded twisted pair (UTP) construction with four pairs of 100% copper conductors. The cable is individually tested to ensure compliance with Category 6 performance standards, providing error-free data transmission for 1, 2.5, 5, and 10 Gbps network connections.
The connectors are plated with 50-micron gold to prevent corrosion and rust, maintaining signal integrity over time. The CMG-rated PVC jacket offers resistance to bending, fraying, and environmental damage, while the molded strain relief enhances durability in high-use scenarios.
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.
