Product Features
Technical Overview
This CAT6 patch cable meets ANSI/TIA-568-2.D Category 6 specifications, ensuring compliance with industry standards for performance and reliability. The 4-pair UTP construction provides a balance of flexibility and durability, while the CMG-rated PVC jacket offers resistance to bending, fraying, and environmental stress.
The snagless molded boot design prevents accidental disconnections and protects the connectors in tight spaces, such as wiring conduits or crowded network racks. With ETL verification and UL-rated wiring (E132276-A), the cable undergoes rigorous testing to maintain signal integrity and reduce near-end crosstalk (NEXT) for clear data transmission.
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.
