FAQ
What is the maximum data transfer speed of this CAT6 cable?
This CAT6 patch cable supports data transfer rates up to 10 Gbit/s, making it suitable for high-speed network applications. It is backward compatible with lower standards like CAT5e, ensuring reliable performance in mixed environments. The 650 MHz bandwidth and 24 AWG copper wiring enable efficient data transmission for tasks such as large file transfers and streaming.
Does this cable support Power over Ethernet (PoE)?
Yes, this cable supports Power over Ethernet up to 100W, compliant with IEEE 802.3bt and DTE power standards. The 24 AWG stranded copper conductors and UL rated wiring (E132276-A) minimize cable heating, making it safe for powering devices like VoIP phones, security cameras, and wireless access points without separate power adapters.
What are the connector types on each end of the cable?
Both ends of the cable feature RJ-45 Network male connectors with 50-micron gold plating for corrosion resistance. The connectors are snagless and molded, providing strain relief and easy disconnection in tight spaces. This design ensures reliable connections for network devices, workstations, hubs, and IP phones.
Is this cable shielded or unshielded?
This cable uses UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) construction, meaning it does not have additional shielding. It is designed for typical office and home network environments where electromagnetic interference is minimal. The CMG-rated PVC jacket provides basic protection and flexibility without the need for shielding in most applications.
