Product Features
Technical Overview
This Cat6 patch cable operates at a frequency of 550 MHz, minimizing near-end crosstalk (NEXT) to maintain signal integrity over its 10-foot length. It uses 24 AWG stranded copper conductors within a CM-rated jacket, which is suitable for in-wall installations in commercial and residential environments. The cable is unshielded (UTP), relying on twisted pair design to reduce electromagnetic interference.
Compliance with standards such as IEEE 802.3ab, ANSI/EIA/TIA 568, and ISO/IEC 11801 ensures interoperability with a wide range of networking equipment. The booted connectors feature integral strain relief to prevent cable pull-out, and the snagless boots safeguard the RJ-45 locking mechanisms. These technical attributes make the cable a dependable choice for Gigabit Ethernet applications.
Relevant factors for this section include Cable Type, Cable Characteristic, Cable Length, Color Family. When those points are considered together, they give buyers a clearer picture of how the product is equipped, how it fits into deployment, and what kind of day-to-day role it is meant to support.
