Product Features
Technical Overview
This CAT6 patch cable delivers 650 MHz bandwidth performance with 4-pair UTP construction. The 50-micron gold-plated RJ45 connectors resist corrosion and rust, maintaining signal integrity over time and reducing network downtime. The cable uses UL Rated Wiring (E132276-A) and supports Power over Ethernet up to 100W, compliant with IEEE 802.3bt and DTE power standards to minimize cable heating.
The CMG-rated PVC jacket provides durability against bending, fraying, and physical stress while maintaining flexibility for routing. The cable's design includes strain relief features and near-end crosstalk (NEXT) reduction for stable data transmission across all four pairs.
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.
