Product Features
Technical Overview
This Cat6 patch cable operates at a 650MHz frequency and uses unshielded twisted pair (UTP) construction with a CMG-rated PVC jacket. The 50-micron gold plating on the connectors resists corrosion and maintains signal integrity over time, while the stranded copper wiring provides flexibility and durability for repeated handling.
The cable supports multi-gigabit speeds including 1Gbps, 2.5Gbps, 5Gbps, and 10Gbps up to 160 feet, making it suitable for high-bandwidth applications. It is UL rated (E132276-A) for PoE applications and complies with IEEE 802.3bt and DTE power standards to minimize cable heating during power delivery.
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.
