Product Features
Technical Overview
This CAT6 patch cable operates at 650 MHz bandwidth and utilizes unshielded twisted pair (UTP) architecture with four pairs of 24 AWG copper wiring. The RJ45 connectors feature 50-micron gold plating that prevents corrosion and maintains consistent electrical connectivity over repeated insertions and removals.
The cable supports IEEE 802.3bt PoE standards, delivering up to 100W of power to compatible devices while minimizing cable heating through proper conductor sizing and UL-rated wiring (E132276-A). With ANSI/T568B wiring configuration, the cable maintains backward compatibility with Cat5e and earlier Ethernet standards.
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.

Deployment / Use Cases
This 6-foot CAT6 patch cable is ideal for connecting network devices in office environments, data centers, and commercial installations. The standard length makes it suitable for connecting workstations to wall outlets, linking switches to patch panels, or connecting VoIP phones and security cameras that require both data and power.
Common deployment scenarios include connecting desktop computers, notebooks, docking stations, workstations, hubs, wall outlets, and distribution panels. The cable's PoE support enables power delivery to devices like VoIP phones, wireless access points, and security systems without separate power adapters, simplifying installation and reducing cable clutter.
Office Network Connections
Connect computers, printers, and network equipment in standard office environments where reliable Gigabit and Multi-Gigabit performance is required.
PoE Device Deployment
Power and connect VoIP phones, security cameras, and wireless access points using a single cable that delivers both data and up to 100W of power.
Physical Profile
The cable features a gray PVC jacket with CMG rating, providing flexibility for routing through conduits and around corners. Weighing approximately 2.70 ounces (76.54 grams), the lightweight design minimizes stress on ports and connectors while maintaining durability. The snagless boot design protects the connector latch from catching on other cables or equipment during installation and maintenance.
