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.

Deployment / Use Cases
This 150-foot CAT6 patch cable is ideal for extending network connections between distribution panels, wall outlets, and end devices in office environments, data centers, and industrial settings. The length provides flexibility for routing around obstacles while maintaining signal integrity for high-speed applications.
Common deployment scenarios include connecting workstations to network switches, linking VoIP phones to PoE switches, extending connections from patch panels to wall outlets, and supporting security camera systems that require both data and power over a single cable. The cable is backward compatible with Cat5e and earlier standards, making it suitable for network upgrades without replacing existing infrastructure.
Physical Profile
This red Ethernet cable features a distinctive color-coded jacket for easy identification in cable management systems. The CMG-rated PVC jacket provides protection against physical stress while maintaining flexibility for installation. With an approximate weight of 4.20 lb (1905.09 g), the cable is manageable for deployment while offering substantial length for extended runs.
