Product Features
Technical Overview
This Cat6 patch cable operates at 250 MHz and utilizes unshielded twisted pair (UTP) construction with four pairs of 24 AWG stranded copper wires. The 50-micron gold-plated RJ45 connectors maintain consistent electrical contact while resisting oxidation and corrosion over time. The cable supports IEEE 802.3bt PoE++ standards, enabling power delivery up to 100W for devices like VoIP phones, security cameras, and wireless access points without separate power cables.
The CMG-rated PVC jacket provides both flame resistance and durability in commercial installations. With UL-rated wiring (E132276-A) and individual testing to comply with ANSI/TIA-568-2.D Category 6 specifications, this cable delivers reliable performance for multi-gigabit networks. The stranded conductor design offers superior flexibility compared to solid core cables, making it easier to route in tight spaces and around corners.
Key Product Advantages
This Cat6 patch cable combines high-performance networking capabilities with robust construction for demanding commercial applications. The 100% copper conductors ensure error-free data transmission at speeds up to 10 Gbps over distances up to 160 feet, while the PoE support eliminates the need for separate power supplies for compatible devices.
