StarTech 5' Molded Cat6 UTP Patch Cable with RJ-45 Male Connectors, 24 AWG, Blue

After careful construction and rigorous testing, the C6PATCH5BL Cat 6 Patch Cable (5 ft) is designed to exceed all Category 6 cable specifications, ensuring reliable Gigabit network connections. This high-quality Cat 6 patch cable is enveloped in a durable blue PVC jacket, providing an easy solution for color coding your network cable runs. The cable features molded PVC strain relief at the RJ45 connector termination points, preventing bending at sharp angles and reducing the risk of cable damage that could potentially decrease network performance. This attention to detail ensures long-lasting performance and reliability. The cable is constructed with top-quality components, including high-quality 24 AWG copper wire, ensuring superior performance. Unlike many cable manufacturers who offer cheaper cables based on a copper-coated aluminum core, this Cat6 cable is 100% copper, offering better value and performance for your network cable investment. The 24 AWG wire construction supports a broad range of Ethernet applications, including Power over Ethernet (PoE). The high-quality copper wire used in this cable can easily sustain the power required for PoE applications, avoiding issues such as insufficient power delivery, heat buildup, equipment damage, and potentially, fire, which are common with inferior quality copper-coated aluminum cables. The molded patch cable also features high-quality connectors made of 50-micron gold, ensuring optimum conductivity and eliminating signal loss due to oxidation or corrosion. This Cat6 patch cable is designed for use with Gigabit networks, patching from hub to distribution panel, and connecting workstations to wall outlets. It's the perfect solution for maintaining high-speed and reliable network connections in a variety of settings.
