This CAT6 cable meets all Category 6 cable specifications, to deliver a reliable Gigabit network connection. This CAT6 patch cable is built using 100% copper wire and are tested to comply with ANSI/TIA 568 C.2 Category 6 requirements. We don’t use copper-clad aluminum (CCA) wire, which is subject to problems like weak power delivery, heat buildup, equipment damage and possibly fire. The 50-micron gold connectors deliver optimum conductivity and eliminate signal loss due to oxidation or corrosion. The CAT6 cable is manufactured using high-quality copper conductors and carefully constructed and tested to keep Near-End Crosstalk (NEXT) well within acceptable limits. The patch cable is constructed with 24 AWG copper wire, to ensure peak performance for demanding Ethernet applications such as Power-over-Ethernet and 4K or 1080p video streaming.
