Cat 6 Patch Cable with Snagless Boots 25ft Red

Overview

This Cat 6 patch cable is designed for high-speed network connectivity in data centers, server rooms, and office environments. Pre-terminated with high-quality 8-position RJ45 plugs, this assembly provides reliable, high-bandwidth performance for Ethernet networking applications.

The cable features a 4-pair stranded, 24 AWG unshielded construction, ensuring flexibility for easy routing within cable management systems. With a Non-Plenum (CMR) jacket rating, it is suitable for general-purpose indoor installation. The inclusion of snagless boots protects the release tab during installation and maintenance, preventing damage in high-density rack environments.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

What does CMR rating mean?
CMR stands for Communications Multipurpose Cable, Riser-rated. It indicates that the cable jacket is designed to prevent the spread of fire between floors in a building.

Are these cables compatible with Cat 5e equipment?
Yes, Cat 6 is backward compatible with Cat 5e systems, though the performance will be limited to the capability of the lower-rated component.

Does this cable support PoE?
While specifically designed for data, 24 AWG Cat 6 cable typically supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications, provided they meet standard safety and power guidelines.

Is this cable shielded?
No, this is an unshielded (UTP) patch cable.

What is the benefit of the snagless boot?
The boot covers the release clip, preventing it from catching on other cables in a bundle or patch panel, which protects the clip from breaking.
