Product Features
Technical Overview
This CAT6 patch cable operates at a data transfer rate of 1 Gbit/s across a bandwidth of 250 MHz, supporting both CAT6 and backward compatibility with CAT5/5e networks. The unshielded twisted pair (UTP) construction with four twisted pairs and eight conductors provides reliable signal integrity while maintaining a slim 3.6mm (0.14in) outer diameter. Gold-plated 50-micron contacts on the snagless RJ45 connectors ensure corrosion resistance and a precise fit for stable Ethernet connections.
The cable's 28AWG bare copper wire delivers efficient power transmission for PoE++ applications up to IEEE 802.3bt Type 4 specifications. Low Near-End Crosstalk (NEXT) and Return Loss (RL) characteristics minimize interference, supporting clear data transmission in high-density deployments.
Key Product Advantages
This slim CAT6 cable combines space-saving design with robust performance features that address common networking challenges. Its reduced diameter and flexible LSZH jacket simplify routing in tight spaces, while the snagless connectors prevent damage during installation and maintenance. The cable's construction prioritizes durability and safety, with break-resistant and wear-resistant materials suitable for industrial and residential use.
Enhanced Cable Management
The 36% slimmer profile allows more cables to fit in conduits and management panels, improving organization and airflow between devices.
- Reduces clutter in network closets
- Promotes better ventilation
- Easier troubleshooting access
Reliable PoE Support
Supports Power over Ethernet++ (PoE++) up to 90W, delivering both data and power to devices like IP cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP phones.
- IEEE 802.3bt Type 4 compliant
- Stable power for high-demand devices
- Eliminates separate power cables
Deployment / Use Cases
This cable is engineered for environments where space optimization and reliable connectivity are critical. Its slim design and yellow color-coding make it ideal for high-density network installations where quick identification and efficient cable management are necessary. The LSZH jacket's low-toxicity properties ensure safe operation in poorly ventilated areas like server rooms or enclosed racks.
Common applications include connecting patch panels to switches in data centers, linking PoE devices in security camera systems, and establishing network connections in office workstations. The cable's residential and industrial suitability extends its use to home networks, smart home installations, and manufacturing environments where durable, flame-retardant cabling is required.
Data Center & Rack Deployment
Optimizes space in crowded network racks and patch panels, with snagless connectors that prevent accidental disconnection during maintenance.
PoE Device Connectivity
Powers and connects IP cameras, wireless access points, and other PoE++ devices without separate power supplies, simplifying installation.
