Product Features
Technical Overview
Engineered for performance and durability, this CAT6 cable features 100% copper conductors arranged in a 4-pair UTP configuration. The 50-micron gold-plated RJ45 contacts minimize signal loss and prevent oxidation that can degrade network performance over time. The cable structure is optimized for 10Gbps data transfer rates while maintaining backward compatibility with CAT5e equipment.
Power over Ethernet support extends to 100W capacity, compliant with IEEE 802.3bt standards for powering devices like VoIP phones, security cameras, and wireless access points. The UL Rated Wiring (E132276-A) ensures safe power delivery with reduced cable heating. The CMG-rated PVC jacket provides flame-retardant properties suitable for commercial installations.
