Product Features
Technical Overview
This Cat6 patch cable meets ANSI/TIA-568-2.D Category 6 specifications, certified for 650MHz bandwidth and tested with Fluke patch cord verification. The 4-pair UTP design supports multi-gigabit connections at 1, 2.5, and 5Gb/s, with full 10Gb/s capability within its rated distance. ETL and UL certifications (including UL Rated Wiring E132276-A) validate its electrical safety and performance standards.
The 24 AWG copper wiring follows ANSI/T568B pinout standards for universal compatibility with existing Cat5e and earlier infrastructure. Near End Crosstalk (NEXT) performance is optimized to minimize interference in high-density cabling environments. The cable's PoE support complies with IEEE 802.3bt and DTE power requirements, efficiently delivering power to connected devices without excessive cable heating.
Key Product Advantages
This cable combines high-speed performance with robust physical construction for network installations where reliability cannot be compromised. The snagless molded boot design allows easy insertion and removal in crowded patch panels without catching on adjacent ports, reducing installation time and preventing accidental disconnections.
Certified Performance
ETL verification and UL certification ensure the cable meets industry standards for electrical safety and transmission performance. Fluke patch cord testing confirms compliance with Category 6 specifications.
- ETL Verified
- UL Rated Wiring (E132276-A)
- Fluke Tested
Durable Construction
Gold-plated connectors resist corrosion and oxidation, while the flexible PVC jacket withstands bending, stress, and environmental wear. Stranded copper conductors maintain flexibility over the full 150-foot length.
- 50-Micron Gold Plating
- Strain Relief Design
- Bend-Resistant Jacket
Deployment / Use Cases
This 150-foot Cat6 patch cable is ideal for extending network connections between switches, routers, and end devices in large office spaces, warehouses, or between building floors. Its length and performance make it suitable for backbone connections in small to medium business networks, temporary event setups, or industrial control systems where longer runs are necessary.
The cable's 100W PoE capability powers devices like VoIP phones, wireless access points, and IP security cameras without separate power adapters. Compatibility with Cat5e and earlier standards allows seamless integration into existing network upgrades. The snagless boots and flexible jacket facilitate installation in conduits, cable trays, and overhead raceways where space is constrained.

User Manual
FAQ
What is the maximum data speed supported by this Cat6 cable?
This cable supports data transfer rates up to 10 Gbit/s (10Gb/s) at distances up to 160 feet. It is also fully compatible with multi-gigabit speeds of 1, 2.5, and 5Gb/s, making it suitable for modern network equipment and future upgrades.
Does this cable support Power over Ethernet (PoE)?
Yes, the cable supports up to 100W of Power over Ethernet, compliant with IEEE 802.3bt and DTE power standards. This allows it to power devices like VoIP phones, wireless access points, and security cameras without separate power adapters, using the 24 AWG stranded copper conductors to minimize heat buildup.
What type of connectors does this Ethernet cable have?
Both ends feature standard RJ-45 male connectors with 50-micron gold plating for reliable conductivity and corrosion resistance. The connectors have snagless molded boots that prevent them from catching on other ports in dense patch panels, making installation and removal easier.
Is this cable shielded or unshielded?
This is an unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable with no additional shielding. The 4-pair twisted design and quality construction minimize crosstalk and interference, meeting Category 6 performance standards for most office and commercial environments without requiring grounded shielding.
What certifications does this cable have?
The cable is ETL verified and UL certified, including UL Rated Wiring (E132276-A). It complies with ANSI/TIA-568-2.D Category 6 specifications and has been tested with Fluke patch cord verification. Environmental certifications include RoHS, WEEE, and REACH compliance.
Can I use this cable with older Cat5e network equipment?
Yes, this Cat6 cable is fully backward compatible with Cat5e and earlier Ethernet standards. It will work with any device that uses RJ45 connectors, automatically negotiating the highest supported speed. The cable's performance exceeds Cat5e requirements, providing headroom for future network upgrades.
