Product Features
Technical Overview
This CAT6 patch cable operates at 650 MHz and complies with ANSI/TIA-568-2.D standards, verified by ETL testing. It uses 4-pair UTP construction with minimized near-end crosstalk (NEXT) for clear signal integrity. The 50-micron gold plating on connectors enhances conductivity and resists rust, reducing network downtime.
The cable supports IEEE 802.3bt PoE++ standards, enabling up to 100W power delivery for compatible devices. Its 24 AWG copper wiring is UL rated (E132276-A), ensuring safe power transmission with reduced cable heating. The boot design combines snagless and molded features for easy installation in conduits and constrained areas.

Physical Profile
The cable features a bright yellow PVC jacket for high visibility, with a CMG rating suitable for general purpose use. Its 10-foot length provides flexibility in routing, while the lightweight design at 4.70 ounces minimizes bulk. The snagless boots are color-matched to the jacket, maintaining a clean aesthetic.
The physical profile is practical for deployment planning because the dimensions and weight are clearly defined: 4.70 oz (133.24 g). This helps confirm rack, shelf, desk, or cabinet fit before installation.
