User Manual
FAQ
What is the maximum data speed supported by this CAT6 cable?
This cable supports data transfer rates up to 10 Gbps, making it suitable for multi-gigabit networks including 1, 2.5, and 5 Gbps connections. It is rated for 650 MHz performance and can handle 10 Gbps speeds up to 160 feet, ensuring high-speed connectivity for demanding applications like video streaming and large file transfers.
Does this cable support Power over Ethernet (PoE)?
Yes, it supports Power over Ethernet up to 100W, compliant with IEEE 802.3bt (PoE++) standards. The 24 AWG stranded copper conductors and UL rated wiring (E132276-A) enable efficient power delivery to devices such as VoIP phones, security cameras, and wireless access points, reducing cable clutter and installation complexity.
What are the connector types on this patch cable?
Both ends feature RJ-45 network male connectors with 50-micron gold plating. This ensures reliable connections and corrosion resistance, compatible with standard network ports on switches, routers, computers, and other network devices. The molded design and snagless boots provide durability and ease of use in high-density installations.
Is this cable shielded or unshielded?
This is an unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable, meaning it does not have additional shielding layers. It relies on twisted pair construction to reduce interference, making it suitable for most office and commercial environments where electromagnetic interference is minimal. The CMG jacket provides basic protection without the need for grounding.
