Cat6 UTP Patch Cord 1M Grey

Description

The Cat6 UTP Patch Cord is a 1-meter long networking cable designed to transmit data at high speeds over local area networks (LANs). It is commonly used to connect computers, servers, switches, and other network devices to each other or to a central network infrastructure.

Key features and characteristics of the Cat6 UTP Patch Cord:
Category 6 (Cat6): This cable conforms to the Cat6 standard, which is an enhanced version of the Cat5e cable. It supports higher bandwidth and provides improved performance for data transmission.

Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP): The cable utilizes UTP technology, where four pairs of twisted copper wires are used for data transmission. Unlike shielded cables, it does not have additional shielding to protect against electromagnetic interference (EMI). However, UTP cables are generally suitable for most indoor network installations.

Patch Cord: This cable is specifically designed for patching or connecting devices within a network. It typically has connectors (RJ-45) on both ends, allowing for easy plug-and-play installation.

Length: The cable has a length of 1 meter (3.28 feet). This length is commonly used for short-distance connections within a network rack, between adjacent devices, or in office environments where devices are in close proximity.

Color: The cable is gray in color. The color coding is often used to differentiate between different cable types or to aid in cable management and identification.

Data Transmission: The Cat6 UTP Patch Cord is capable of transmitting data at speeds up to 10 Gigabits per second (Gbps) over a maximum distance of 55 meters. For shorter distances, it can support even higher speeds.

Compatibility: The Cat6 UTP Patch Cord is backward compatible with previous Ethernet standards such as Cat5 and Cat5e. It can be used in networks that utilize older cable standards but provides optimal performance when used in conjunction with Cat6-compliant devices and infrastructure.

When using the Cat6 UTP Patch Cord, it is essential to ensure proper cable management, avoid sharp bends, and protect the cable from physical damage to maintain optimal performance and longevity.
