Product Features
Technical Overview
This CAT6 patch cable complies with ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 standards, guaranteeing reliable performance up to 250 MHz bandwidth. Its unshielded twisted pair (UTP) construction with four twisted pairs (eight conductors) provides effective noise reduction, while low near-end crosstalk (NEXT) and return loss (RL) ensure signal integrity.
The cable is Fluke tested for quality assurance, confirming adherence to CAT6 specifications and backward compatibility with CAT5/5e networks. Features like strain relief, break resistance, and a flexible LSZH jacket enhance durability and ease of installation in tight spaces.
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.

FAQ
What is the length of this CAT6 cable, and is it suitable for long-distance runs?
This cable is 30 feet (9.14 meters) long, making it ideal for medium-distance patch connections in office networks, data centers, or between devices in rack setups. It maintains CAT6 performance standards up to its full length, ensuring reliable Gigabit Ethernet speeds without signal degradation.
Does this cable support Power over Ethernet (PoE), and what power levels can it handle?
Yes, this cable supports Power over Ethernet, including PoE++ up to 90W (IEEE 802.3bt Type 4). This allows it to deliver both data and power to devices like IP cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP phones, eliminating the need for separate power cables and simplifying installations.
What does 'LSZH jacket' mean, and why is it important?
LSZH stands for Low-Smoke Zero Halogen, a jacket material that emits minimal smoke and no toxic halogen gases if exposed to fire. This makes the cable safer for use in enclosed or poorly ventilated spaces like plenums, air handling areas, and crowded network closets, reducing health risks during emergencies.
How does the slim design of this cable benefit installation and cable management?
The cable has a 36% slimmer diameter than standard CAT6 cables, enhancing flexibility and making it easier to route through tight conduits, cable trays, and dense network racks. This improves airflow around devices, reduces clutter, and simplifies troubleshooting and maintenance in high-density environments.
Is this cable backward compatible with older network standards like CAT5e?
Yes, this CAT6 cable is fully backward compatible with CAT5 and CAT5e networks. It can be used to upgrade existing infrastructure while maintaining connectivity with older devices, though for optimal performance, it is recommended to pair it with CAT6-compliant equipment to leverage its full 1 Gbps speed and PoE++ capabilities.
What does 'Fluke tested' indicate about this cable's quality?
Fluke testing means the cable has been verified using professional-grade Fluke network testers to ensure it meets CAT6 performance specifications, including parameters like near-end crosstalk (NEXT), return loss, and impedance. This testing provides assurance of reliable data transmission, compliance with industry standards, and suitability for demanding networking applications.
