Product Features
Technical Overview
Engineered to meet IEC 802.3ab standards, this Cat6 cable reduces near-end crosstalk (NEXT) and return loss, enhancing signal integrity across its 25-foot length. The four-pair stranded UTP design supports frequencies up to 550 MHz, backward compatible with Category 5e and Category 5 networks for versatile integration.
The cable's unshielded twisted pair (UTP) construction with minimized crosstalk ensures stable performance in high-density network setups. Its 24 AWG gauge provides a balance of durability and flexibility, while the CM jacket rating indicates suitability for general-purpose use in riser applications.
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.
Key Product Advantages
This patch cable combines robust construction with user-friendly features to deliver reliable network connectivity. The snagless molded boots prevent accidental disconnections in crowded patch panels, while the gold-plated RJ45 connectors resist corrosion for consistent signal transmission.
Durability & Protection
The molded strain relief and snag-resistant design protect connectors from physical stress, extending cable lifespan in high-traffic environments.
- Integral strain relief
- Damage-resistant construction
- Snagless boot design
Performance Assurance
Meeting Category 6 specifications ensures reduced crosstalk and reliable 10 Gbit/s performance for gigabit Ethernet applications.
- 550 MHz bandwidth
- Minimized NEXT
- Backward compatible
Deployment / Use Cases
Ideal for connecting network devices in office environments, data centers, and commercial installations, this 25-foot Cat6 patch cable provides the reach needed for flexible equipment placement. Its white color blends discreetly with light-colored walls and furniture, maintaining a clean aesthetic in visible areas.
Common applications include linking switches to routers, connecting workstations to wall outlets, and extending connections between network racks. The CM-rated jacket makes it suitable for use in riser applications where basic fire safety is required, though not in plenum spaces without additional ratings.
Office Networking
Connect computers, printers, and IP phones to network switches with reliable gigabit performance for daily business operations.
Data Center Patches
Use in server racks and patch panels where snagless boots prevent accidental disconnections in dense configurations.

User Manual
FAQ
What is the maximum data transfer speed of this Cat6 cable?
This Tripp Lite Cat6 patch cable supports data transfer rates up to 10 Gbit/s, making it suitable for high-speed network applications including gigabit Ethernet. It meets Category 6 specifications that ensure reliable performance at this speed across its 25-foot length when used with compatible networking equipment.
Are both ends of this cable male RJ45 connectors?
Yes, both ends feature identical RJ45 male connectors. Each end has one gold-plated RJ45 network male connector, making this a standard patch cable for connecting network devices like computers, switches, and routers without requiring gender changers or adapters.
What does the 'snagless' boot design provide?
The snagless molded boots prevent the cable from accidentally catching on other cables or equipment in crowded patch panels. This design includes integral strain relief that protects the connector from damage during frequent insertion and removal, extending the cable's lifespan in high-use environments.
Is this cable shielded or unshielded?
This is an unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable. It does not include additional shielding layers, relying instead on its twisted pair design and Category 6 construction to minimize crosstalk and interference. This makes it suitable for most office and commercial environments where extreme EMI protection isn't required.
What does the CM jacket rating mean?
The CM (Communications Multipurpose) rating indicates the jacket meets flame resistance standards for riser applications. This cable is suitable for general-purpose use in vertical runs between floors, though not for plenum spaces without additional ratings. The CM jacket provides basic fire safety for commercial installations.
Can this cable be used with older network equipment?
Yes, this Cat6 cable is backward compatible with Category 5e and Category 5 networks. It will work with older equipment that supports these standards, though maximum speeds will be limited by the lowest-rated component in the connection chain. The gold-plated connectors ensure reliable connectivity across different generations of networking hardware.
