Product Features
Technical Overview
This CAT6 cable operates at a 250 MHz frequency and utilizes 4-pair U/UTP architecture to minimize crosstalk and ensure stable data transmission. The 24 AWG stranded copper conductors enhance flexibility and durability, while the high-density polyethylene insulation maintains signal clarity over the full 20-foot length. The snagless boot design prevents accidental disconnection and reduces strain on the connector during installation.
The cable's LSZH jacket is PVC-free and produces low smoke and toxic fumes in fire scenarios, meeting safety requirements for commercial and industrial settings. Gold-plated pins (50-micron) improve signal integrity and resist oxidation, supporting consistent performance over time. The cable is backward compatible with Cat5e and earlier standards, ensuring broad interoperability.

User Manual
FAQ
What is the maximum data transfer speed of this CAT6 cable?
This CAT6 Ethernet cable supports data transfer rates up to 10 Gb/s, making it suitable for high-speed network applications such as server connections, network storage, and multi-gigabit internet setups. It operates at a 250 MHz frequency and is backward compatible with lower-speed standards like Cat5e.
Does this cable support Power over Ethernet (PoE)?
Yes, this cable supports Power over Ethernet up to 100W, compliant with IEEE 802.3bt type 4 (PoE++). This allows it to deliver both data and power to compatible devices like IP cameras, VoIP phones, and wireless access points, simplifying installations and reducing cable clutter.
What does LSZH mean, and why is it important?
LSZH stands for Low Smoke Zero Halogen, a jacket material that produces minimal smoke and toxic fumes in fire conditions. This makes the cable safer for use in enclosed spaces, data centers, and commercial buildings where fire safety regulations are stringent. The PVC-free construction also reduces environmental impact.
Is this cable shielded or unshielded?
This cable is unshielded (U/UTP), meaning it does not have additional shielding layers around the conductors. It relies on twisted pair design to minimize crosstalk and interference, which is sufficient for most office and enterprise environments. The gold-plated connectors further enhance signal integrity.
