Product Features
Technical Overview
This CAT6 patch cable operates at 250 MHz and complies with ANSI/TIA-568.2-D standards, verified through ETL testing. The unshielded twisted pair (UTP) construction with CMG-rated PVC jacket provides durability in commercial wiring applications while maintaining flexibility.
The cable supports IEEE 802.3bt PoE++ standards, delivering up to 100W of power alongside data transmission. This makes it compatible with high-power devices like access points, IP cameras, and digital signage without requiring separate power cables.
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 with practical installation features. The molded strain relief and snagless boots prevent connector damage during installation and removal, while the bend-resistant PVC jacket maintains cable integrity in tight spaces.
Reliable Connectivity
50-micron gold-plated contacts resist corrosion and ensure consistent electrical contact over time, reducing network downtime.
- ANSI/T568B wiring standard
- Compatible with CAT5e networks
- Individually tested for performance
Power Over Ethernet Ready
Supports PoE++ (802.3bt) for up to 100W power delivery to connected devices, eliminating separate power adapters.
- UL rated wiring (E132276-A)
- Reduced cable heating
- DTE power compliance
Deployment / Use Cases
This patch cable is ideal for connecting network devices in office environments, data centers, and commercial installations. Its 8-foot length provides flexibility for workstation connections, while the white color blends with modern office aesthetics.
Common applications include connecting computers to wall outlets, linking switches to patch panels, and powering PoE devices like VoIP phones and security cameras. The cable works with network devices, workstations, hubs, and distribution panels.
Office Network Infrastructure
Connect workstations to network switches or wall outlets in commercial office settings where reliable gigabit connectivity is essential.
PoE Device Installation
Power and connect VoIP phones, wireless access points, and security cameras using a single cable for simplified installation.
Physical Profile
The white PVC jacket provides a clean appearance that matches modern office environments while offering resistance to bending and fraying. The CMG-rated jacket meets commercial building code requirements for riser applications.
The physical profile is practical for deployment planning because the dimensions and weight are clearly defined: 3.80 oz (107.73 g). This helps confirm rack, shelf, desk, or cabinet fit before installation.
