Product Features
Technical Overview
These CAT6 patch cables are engineered to meet ANSI/TIA 568 C.2 CAT6 requirements, supporting data transfer speeds up to 10 Gbps at reduced crosstalk. The 24 AWG stranded copper conductors provide flexibility and consistent performance, while the UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) design is optimized for typical office and server room environments.
The connectors utilize 50-micron gold plating on the contacts to resist corrosion and maintain signal integrity over time. The snagless boot design protects the RJ45 clip from damage during frequent insertions and removals, extending the cable's operational life.
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.
