Fast, fast, fast - the three words that describe Cables To Go's Cat6 network cables. Perfect for distributing data, voice and video, these 550MHz rated patch cables ensure you always have the necessary throughput to handle today's and tomorrow's bandwidth-intensive applications. Each cable is fully tested and quality inspected, ensuring all EIA/TIA Cat 6 TIA/EIA- 568-B-2.1, draft 9 standards are met. Note: These cables are for 10/100 ethernet only and wil not work for gigabit ethernet since only two pairs of this cable are crossed. Cat6 patch cords from Cables To Go drastically reduce both impedance and structural return loss (SRL) as compared to standard 100 Mhz wire, which ensures error-free transmission! This is accomplished by bonding together each of the individual pairs, helping to maintain the twist-spacing throughout the line right up to the termination. Construction with high-quality wire and a shortened body plug will keep Near-end Crosstalk (NEXT) levels to a minimum. Our all-new molded, snag-free clip prevents unwanted cable snags during installation without impairing your ability to insert and remove the connector from the port. It also provides unparalleled strain-relief, so that the cable is not damaged even when pulled on excessively. Features: Connector: 50-micron gold plated RJ-45 Male to Male. Conductor: 24 AWG Stranded Copper. Jacket: PVC. All-new molded, snag-free boot prevents unwanted cable snags while providing easy insertion and extraction from network ports. Crossed pin configuration allows you to connect two computers peer-to-peer without the need for a hub or switch. Perfect for connecting network switches and hubs without an uplink port to other switches and hubs.
