Technical Overview
This Cat6 patch cable adheres to IEC 802.3ab standards and is rated for 550 MHz bandwidth, supporting communications up to 1 Gbps. The 24 AWG stranded conductors ensure flexibility and durability, while the gold-plated contacts enhance signal integrity and corrosion resistance. The cable is unshielded (UTP), which simplifies installation while maintaining performance in typical office and data center environments.
The molded snagless boots protect the connector latch from accidental disengagement and provide strain relief to extend cable life. The PVC jacket is CM-rated for use in plenum spaces, offering compliance with building codes where required.
