Product Features
Technical Overview
This CAT6 patch cable operates at 250 MHz and supports data transfer rates up to 10 Gbps at distances up to 55 meters, making it ideal for high-speed network applications. The 24 AWG stranded copper conductors provide excellent conductivity and flexibility, while the U/UTP (unshielded twisted pair) design with low near-end crosstalk (NEXT) ensures reliable data transmission with minimal interference.
The cable supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications up to 100W (PoE++), compliant with IEEE 802.3bt type 4 standards. This allows it to power devices such as VoIP phones, security cameras, wireless access points, and other PoE-enabled equipment without separate power cables. The gold-plated RJ-45 connectors feature 50-micron plating for improved corrosion resistance and consistent electrical contact over repeated mating cycles.
Key Product Advantages
This Ethernet cable combines performance, safety, and durability in a single solution. The LSZH jacket material produces lower levels of smoke and toxic halogen fumes in case of fire, making it suitable for enclosed spaces, plenum areas, and environments with strict fire safety regulations. Unlike PVC cables, this eco-friendly construction meets EU RoHS, REACH, and WEEE environmental compliance standards.
Enhanced Safety Features
The LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket minimizes toxic emissions during combustion, providing added safety in fire situations. This makes the cable ideal for data centers, office buildings, hospitals, and educational facilities where fire safety is paramount.
- Reduced smoke production
- Minimal toxic fumes
- Fire-resistant construction
- Eco-friendly materials
Superior Construction Quality
Built with 100% copper conductors rather than copper-clad aluminum, this cable ensures better conductivity, lower resistance, and more reliable power delivery for PoE applications. The EVA copolymer jacket provides excellent flexibility while resisting damage from bending, crushing, and environmental stress.
- 100% copper conductors
- Stranded for flexibility
- Molded strain relief
- Damage-resistant jacket
Deployment / Use Cases
This CAT6 patch cable is versatile enough for various networking scenarios, from office environments to industrial settings. Its 10GbE capability makes it suitable for connecting switches, routers, servers, and network storage devices in high-speed network backbones.

User Manual
FAQ
What is the maximum data speed supported by this CAT6 cable?
This CAT6 Ethernet cable supports data transfer rates up to 10 Gbps (10GbE) at distances up to 55 meters. It also maintains backward compatibility with lower-speed standards including 1 Gbps, 2.5 Gbps, and 5 Gbps, making it suitable for multi-gigabit network environments and future upgrades.
Can this cable deliver power to PoE devices?
Yes, this cable supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) up to 100W using the PoE++ (IEEE 802.3bt type 4) standard. It can power various PoE-enabled devices such as security cameras, wireless access points, VoIP phones, and LED lighting systems without requiring separate power cables.
What does LSZH mean and why is it important?
LSZH stands for Low Smoke Zero Halogen, a cable jacket material that produces minimal smoke and no toxic halogen gases when exposed to fire. This enhances safety in enclosed spaces like data centers, office buildings, and public facilities by reducing hazardous emissions during fire incidents.
Is this cable shielded or unshielded?
This is an unshielded twisted pair (U/UTP) cable, meaning it does not have individual pair shielding or overall foil shielding. It utilizes twisted pair construction and careful manufacturing to minimize crosstalk and interference, making it suitable for most office and commercial environments where electromagnetic interference is not extreme.
What types of devices can I connect with this Ethernet cable?
