Overview
This Category 6 patch cable is engineered for reliable high-speed network connectivity. Designed to meet or exceed industry Cat 6 performance standards, it supports high-bandwidth data transmission requirements in enterprise and data center environments.
The cable features 4-pair stranded copper conductors with a 24 AWG gauge, ensuring both flexibility and durability. Each cable is pre-terminated with snagless RJ45 connectors, which protect the locking tabs during installation and removal in high-density rack environments. The jacket is CMR (Non-Plenum) rated, making it suitable for standard vertical and horizontal cable runs within walls and riser spaces.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between CMR and Plenum cable?
CMR (Riser) cable is designed for use in vertical shafts and non-plenum areas. Plenum (CMP) cable is required for use in air-handling spaces (such as drop ceilings with HVAC airflow) because it produces less smoke and has lower flame spread properties.
Can I use this cable for T568A or T568B wiring?
Yes, the cable is factory-terminated for universal compatibility with both T568A and T568B wiring standards.
Does this cable support Power over Ethernet (PoE)?
Cat 6 cabling is generally capable of supporting standard PoE applications; however, verify the specific power requirements of your end devices.
What is the conductor type?
This cable uses 24 AWG stranded copper conductors, which provide superior flexibility compared to solid conductor cables.
Is this cable shielded?
No, this is a 4-pair stranded unshielded cable (UTP).
