Cat 6 Patch Cable with Snagless Boots 10ft White

Overview

The Cat 6 Patch Cable with Snagless Boots is designed for high-performance network connectivity in professional data center, office, and home environments. It provides reliable data transmission for Ethernet applications, ensuring compliance with current industry standards.

This cable features a 4-pair stranded, unshielded construction with 24 AWG conductors, offering the flexibility required for patch panel and workstation connections. The non-plenum (CMR) rated jacket ensures safety and compliance with standard building codes for vertical cable runs.

Key Features

• Snagless Boot Design
  Prevents the locking tab of the RJ45 connector from breaking during installation or when being moved through high-density cable bundles.
• Cat 6 Performance
  Meets or exceeds Category 6 specifications for data rates, supporting up to 1Gbps or 10Gbps performance depending on the network environment.
• Universal Wiring
  Features T568A/T568B universal wiring configurations for seamless integration into existing network infrastructures.
• Stranded 24 AWG Conductors
  Provides increased flexibility and durability compared to solid core cabling, ideal for repetitive patching.
• 8-Position RJ45 Plugs
  Pre-terminated with high-quality connectors for consistent performance and immediate plug-and-play installation.
• Non-Plenum (CMR) Rated
  Constructed with materials suitable for riser applications within standard office and commercial building environments.

Applications

• Local Area Networks (LAN)
• Data center patch panel connections
• Workstation-to-wall-jack connectivity
• VoIP phone systems
• Network switch and router interconnects

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this cable plenum rated?
No, this cable is CMR (Riser) rated, which is appropriate for vertical shafts and general-purpose commercial building use, not for plenum air spaces.

Does this cable support both T568A and T568B?
Yes, the cable is wired for universal compatibility, supporting both common wiring standards.

What is the benefit of the snagless boot?
The snagless boot protects the latch of the RJ45 connector, preventing it from snapping off when pulling the cable through crowded racks or cabinets.

Can this be used for 10 Gigabit speeds?
Cat 6 cabling can support 10GBASE-T over shorter distances, though performance is dependent on specific total channel length and environmental factors.

Is the wire solid or stranded?
This cable uses stranded conductors, making it much more flexible and better suited for patch cord applications than solid core bulk cable.
