Technical Overview
This Cat6 patch cable operates at 650 MHz and utilizes unshielded twisted pair (UTP) construction with minimized near-end crosstalk (NEXT) for clear signal transmission. The 24 AWG copper wiring supports IEEE 802.3bt PoE++ standards, delivering up to 100W of power to compatible devices. The cable's CMG-rated PVC jacket provides flexibility and resistance to bending, fraying, and heat.
Gold-plated connectors ensure reliable contact and prevent rust, while the molded snagless boots protect the connector latch from snagging during cable management. The cable is backward compatible with Cat5e and earlier Ethernet standards, allowing seamless integration into existing network infrastructures.
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.
