Technical Overview
This Cat6 patch cable operates at 650MHz frequency and uses unshielded twisted pair (UTP) construction with a CMG-rated PVC jacket. The 24 AWG stranded copper conductors provide optimal conductivity for both data and power transmission, supporting IEEE 802.3bt PoE++ standards for devices requiring up to 100W.
The cable's technical design includes molded snagless boots that prevent the RJ45 connectors from catching on obstacles during installation. Gold-plated contacts resist corrosion and maintain signal integrity, while the flexible stranded construction allows for repeated bending without damage to the internal conductors.
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 75-foot Cat6 patch cable is ideal for connecting network devices across medium-distance spans in office environments, data centers, and commercial installations. The extended length provides flexibility for routing through conduits, ceilings, or along walls while maintaining signal integrity.
Common applications include connecting workstations to network switches, linking IP phones to PoE switches, extending connections from wall outlets to devices, and creating temporary network links during installations or reconfigurations. The cable's compatibility with earlier standards allows seamless integration into existing Cat5e infrastructure.
Physical Profile
This orange Ethernet cable features a bright PVC jacket that provides both visual identification and physical protection. The cable weighs approximately 1.98 pounds (898.68 grams) and maintains flexibility despite its 75-foot length, allowing for manageable coiling and storage when not in use.
The physical profile is practical for deployment planning because the dimensions and weight are clearly defined: 1.98 lb (898.68 g). This helps confirm rack, shelf, desk, or cabinet fit before installation.
