Cat6 Black Ethernet Patch Cable, Bootless, 4 foot

4 foot Cat6 Black Ethernet Patch Cable, Bootless

Cat6 Ethernet cables of the 4 foot length have a variety of uses. These cables will suffice for connecting routers/switches to Cable/DSL modems, computers to routers/switches or even in the server/network room for connecting ports on patch panels. These Ethernet Cables are great for the home office or any other environment.

Cat6 cables are used for networking, data transfer, and phone lines. Cat6 Cable is used in network applications and has been designed specifically for Gigabit Ethernet applications. They perform at high-data transfer rates, and work with ATM and gigabit speed products.

This particular cable is a black UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) bootless patch cable. Cat6 cable includes a spline to help ensure separation between the pairs which limits cross talk. The connectors are wired to the T568B standard. The individual conductors are 24 AWG (American wire gauge) stranded pure copper. Cat6 patch cables are stranded to improve flexibility. Pure copper conductors provide the best signal possible. The RJ45 plug features gold connectors to prevent corrosion thus ensuring a longer cable life. Our Cat6 Ethernet patch cables exceed the EIA/TIA-568-C standard.

Our High Quality Network Cables:
Bare Copper Wire
Even though it is typically a little more expensive, bare copper is more resilient to jerks and harsh pulls when fishing the cable through tight corners and sharp edges. Since copper is a better conductor of electricity than aluminum it will allow better data transfer rates.

Their Poor Quality Network Cables:
Copper Clad Aluminum Wire CCA
CCA, is not in compliance with UL Standards, and therefore cannot truly be UL approved. To test your existing cable, strip off the jackets until you see the solid metal core. Hold your knife at a 90 degree angle and begin scraping the copper off the cable. You will see silver (aluminum) Also Copper Clad Aluminum will break if you twist it several times on itself, where bare copper will typically hold on after you've twisted it 20-30 times.
