Product Features
Technical Overview
This CAT6 patch cable operates at a 650 MHz frequency and complies with ANSI/TIA-568-2.D standards, verified by ETL testing. It uses unshielded twisted pair (UTP) construction with four pairs of 24 AWG copper wires, supporting multi-gigabit speeds of 1, 2.5, 5, and 10 Gbps up to 160 feet.
The cable is UL-rated (E132276-A) for safe PoE delivery up to 100W under IEEE 802.3bt and DTE power compliance, reducing cable heating. Connectors feature 50-micron gold plating to prevent rust and corrosion, and the molded strain relief boots enhance durability against bending and fraying.
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.
