DESCRIPTION

Cat6 Ethernet patch cable with RJ45 connectors, designed for high-speed wired network connections. 

Key Details

Function: This cable is used to connect devices like computers, routers, switches, modems, and printers to a local area network (LAN).

Performance: Cat6 cables are rated for speeds up to 1 gigabit per second (Gbps) over a distance of 100 meters, and can support 10 Gbps Ethernet over shorter distances (up to about 55 meters). They are designed to meet more stringent specifications for reducing crosstalk and system noise compared to older standards like Cat5e.

Connectors: The plugs on both ends are standard RJ45 connectors, which are 8-pin modular connectors commonly used for Ethernet networking.

Construction: The cable features a durable blue PVC jacket and uses twisted pairs of copper wires (typically 24 AWG) to help maintain signal integrity and reduce interference. One of the connectors appears to be a right-angle or down-angle design, which is useful for managing cables in tight spaces and reducing strain.
