Overview
This Category 6 patch cable is designed to provide reliable connectivity for high-speed local area network environments. It is engineered for data center, office, and enterprise networking applications requiring consistent signal integrity. Each cable is pre-terminated to ensure high-performance standards are met for everyday network operations.
Constructed with four-pair stranded copper conductors, this cable features a flexible design suitable for patching applications in tight spaces, such as inside server cabinets or between patch panels and network switches. The included snagless boots protect the connector tabs and simplify cable management in dense rack environments.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this cable shielded?
No, this is an unshielded (UTP) Cat 6 cable.
Can I use this for 10 Gigabit applications?
Cat 6 cabling is typically rated for up to 1Gbps at full distance, and up to 10Gbps at shorter distances (typically under 37-55 meters), though Cat 6A is recommended for sustained 10GBASE-T deployments.
What does CMR rating mean?
CMR stands for Communications Multipurpose Cable, Riser, indicating the jacket is flame-retardant and suitable for installation in vertical shafts and general building areas.
Does the cable come with boots?
Yes, it is supplied with snagless boots already installed on the connectors.
Is this cable compatible with both T568A and T568B wiring?
Yes, the cable is wired to support universal configuration standards.
