Cat6 Snagproof Patch Cord 20ft Gray

Overview

The Cat6 Snagproof Patch Cord is a high-performance network cable designed for reliable data transmission in professional and residential networking environments. This cable is specifically engineered to meet or exceed Category 6 performance standards, ensuring robust connectivity for demanding network applications.

Constructed with 4-pair stranded unshielded 24 AWG copper conductors, this patch cord provides the flexibility required for easy routing while maintaining signal integrity. The cable is jacketed with a Non-Plenum (CMR) rated material, making it suitable for general-purpose vertical wiring in buildings. The inclusion of snagproof boots prevents the connector locking tab from breaking during installation and removal, significantly extending the service life of the patch cord.

Can I use this for T568A or T568B installations?
Yes, the cable is wired for universal compatibility with both T568A and T568B standards.

What is the conductor gauge?
The cable uses 24 AWG stranded copper conductors.

Does the cable come factory terminated?
Yes, each end is pre-terminated with an 8-position RJ45 plug.
