Overview
The Cat 6 Patch Cable with Molded Boots is a high-performance network cable designed to provide reliable connectivity for data center, office, and home networking environments. This cable features a 4-pair stranded unshielded construction with 24 AWG conductors, engineered to maintain signal integrity and support high-speed data transmission.
Pre-terminated with 8-position RJ45 plugs, this cable includes integrated snagless molded boots to protect the connector latch during installation and cable management. Rated as Non-Plenum (CMR), it is suitable for general-purpose indoor use. The cable utilizes universal T568A/T568B wiring to ensure compatibility with standard networking hardware.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the CMR rating mean?
CMR stands for Communications Multipurpose Cable, Riser-rated. It indicates that the cable is designed to prevent the spread of fire between floors in vertical risers.
Is this cable shielded?
No, this is an unshielded (UTP) cable designed for standard commercial and residential office networking.
Can this be used for Gigabit Ethernet?
Yes, Category 6 cabling is fully rated to support Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T) applications.
What is the difference between T568A and T568B?
They are wiring standards for RJ45 connectors. This cable is designed to support both universal configurations.
Are the boots removable?
The molded boots are integrated into the connector design to provide strain relief and are not intended to be removed.
