Product Features
Technical Overview
This Cat6 cable operates at 650 MHz and uses unshielded twisted pair (UTP) architecture with four pairs of 100% copper wiring. It supports multi-gigabit connections including 1, 2.5, and 5 Gbps, making it suitable for modern network switches, routers, and adapters. The 50-micron gold plating on the connectors enhances signal integrity and prevents rust, while the molded design provides additional durability at the connection points.
Power over Ethernet capabilities comply with IEEE 802.3bt (PoE++) standards, delivering up to 100W for devices like VoIP phones, security cameras, and wireless access points. The UL-rated wiring (E132276-A) ensures safe power transmission with reduced cable heating. The cable's 24 AWG stranded conductors offer flexibility and resilience against bending or fraying, which is critical in permanent installations or frequently reconfigured setups.
Key Product Advantages
This patch cable combines high-speed data transmission with robust power delivery in a single, reliable solution. Its construction prioritizes longevity and performance in commercial and industrial settings, where network stability is non-negotiable.
Enhanced Durability
The molded connectors and PVC jacket resist bending, fraying, and environmental damage, while gold-plated contacts prevent corrosion. This design reduces maintenance and replacement costs over the cable's lifetime.
- Molded strain relief
- Corrosion-resistant plating
- Fray-resistant jacket
Simplified Installation
Snagless boots allow easy insertion and removal in crowded patch panels or conduits without catching on adjacent ports. The 50-foot length provides ample reach for connecting devices across rooms or between racks.
- Snagless boot design
- 50 ft flexibility
- CMG-rated jacket
Comprehensive Compliance
The cable meets industry standards for performance and safety, including ETL verification for Category 6 specifications and UL certification for PoE wiring. It also adheres to environmental directives like RoHS and WEEE.
- ETL verified to TIA-568-2.D
- UL rated for PoE
- RoHS/REACH/WEEE compliant
Deployment / Use Cases
This Cat6 patch cable is ideal for connecting network devices in office environments, data centers, and industrial facilities. Its 10 Gbps capability supports high-bandwidth applications such as video streaming, large file transfers, and server connectivity, while the PoE++ functionality powers devices directly over the Ethernet connection.
Common use cases include linking VoIP phones and security systems to PoE switches, extending connections from wall outlets to workstations or hubs, and integrating into distribution panels for structured cabling systems. The cable's compatibility with Cat5e infrastructure allows seamless upgrades without replacing existing endpoints, making it a cost-effective choice for network expansions or retrofits.
Physical Profile
The cable features a black PVC jacket that blends into most environments while providing protection against physical wear. Its approximate weight of 1.31 lb (594 g) and flexible design make it easy to route through conduits or along walls. The snagless boots and molded connectors ensure a clean, professional appearance in visible installations, such as open-office networking or rack setups.
