Product Features
Technical Overview
This CAT6 patch cable operates at a 650 MHz frequency and uses unshielded twisted pair (UTP) construction with 24 AWG stranded copper wiring. It supports data rates from 1 Gbps up to 10 Gbps over short distances, making it suitable for connecting switches, routers, workstations, and other network devices in server rooms, offices, or data centers.
The cable is engineered for Power over Ethernet applications, complying with IEEE 802.3bt standards to deliver up to 100W of power with reduced cable heating. The 50-micron gold plating on the connectors prevents corrosion and ensures consistent electrical contact, while the molded strain relief enhances durability at connection points.
Key Product Advantages
This patch cable combines high-performance networking with robust physical construction to minimize downtime and simplify installations. The green color provides easy visual identification in complex cable management systems, helping technicians quickly trace connections during maintenance or troubleshooting.
Enhanced Durability
The molded design and PVC jacket offer superior resistance to bending, fraying, and physical damage, ensuring long-term reliability in high-traffic areas.
- Strain relief construction
- Bend and damage resistant
- Corrosion and rust resistant
Optimized for PoE
With support for 100W PoE++, this cable safely delivers power to connected devices without requiring separate electrical wiring, reducing installation complexity and costs.
- IEEE 802.3bt compliant
- Reduced cable heating
- Compatible with PoE++ devices
Deployment / Use Cases
This 1-foot CAT6 patch cable is ideal for short-run connections within network racks, between adjacent devices, or in space-constrained environments. Its compact length reduces cable clutter and improves airflow in densely packed equipment cabinets, while still delivering full gigabit performance.
Common applications include linking switches to patch panels, connecting VoIP phones to network ports, powering wireless access points, and interfacing with security system components. The cable is backward compatible with Cat5e equipment, providing flexibility for mixed-network environments without sacrificing speed or reliability.
Physical Profile
This lightweight cable features a green CMG-rated PVC jacket that is both flexible and durable. The compact 1-foot length makes it easy to route in confined areas, while the low-profile snagless boots maintain a clean appearance in visible installations. The cable is RoHS compliant and environmentally friendly, meeting modern regulatory standards for electronic components.
