Siemon 1 Metre Category 6 U/UTP Patch Cord 

The Siemon 1 Metre Category 6 U/UTP Patch Cord is a top-tier networking solution designed to meet the rigorous demands of modern data communication environments. Engineered with precision, this patch cord ensures high-speed, reliable data transmission, making it an ideal choice for connecting network devices such as switches, routers, and patch panels in data centers, enterprise networks, and other critical IT infrastructures.

Key Features and Specifications:

• Category 6 Performance:

  • This patch cord is designed to exceed the performance standards set by ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 for Category 6 cables, as well as ISO/IEC 11801 Class E. It supports data transmission speeds of up to 1 Gbps, making it fully compatible with Gigabit Ethernet applications and ensuring smooth, uninterrupted network performance.

• Unshielded Twisted Pair (U/UTP) Construction:

  • The cable features an unshielded twisted pair (U/UTP) design, with four twisted pairs of 24 AWG stranded copper conductors. This construction minimizes crosstalk and electromagnetic interference (EMI), providing a clear and reliable signal even in environments with high electrical noise.

• High-Quality RJ45 Connectors:

  • Both ends of the cable are terminated with modular RJ45 connectors that feature 50-micron gold-plated contacts. These gold-plated contacts ensure a secure and corrosion-resistant connection, enhancing signal integrity and reducing the risk of data loss over time.

• Flexible and Durable Cable Jacket:

  • The patch cord is encased in a flame-retardant PVC jacket, which provides flexibility for easy installation in tight spaces while also offering robust protection against physical damage. The jacket material is compliant with industry safety standards, and low-smoke, zero-halogen (LSOH) options are available for environments where fire safety is a concern.

• Precision Engineering for Reliable Performance:

  • The cable’s design includes a precise twist ratio and consistent conductor alignment, which are critical for maintaining signal quality over the 1-meter length. This engineering excellence ensures that the patch cord delivers consistent performance with minimal signal degradation.

• Environmental Tolerance:

  • The Siemon 1 Metre Category 6 U/UTP Patch Cord is built to withstand a range of environmental conditions. It operates effectively in temperatures ranging from -20°C to +60°C (-4°F to +140°F), making it suitable for a variety of installation settings. Additionally, it can be stored in environments with temperatures as low as -20°C and as high as +75°C (-4°F to +167°F) without compromising performance.

• Ease of Installation and Use:

  • The patch cord is designed for easy installation, with a minimum bend radius of four times the cable diameter, allowing for flexible routing and management in dense cable environments. The plug retention force exceeds 50N, ensuring that the connectors stay securely in place, even in high-density setups.

• Versatile Color Options:

  • To assist with cable management and identification, the patch cord is available in a variety of color options, including gray, blue, yellow, green, and red. This color-coding helps in organizing and distinguishing between different network connections, which is particularly useful in large-scale installations.

• Compliance and Certifications:

  • The Siemon 1 Metre Category 6 U/UTP Patch Cord is RoHS compliant, ensuring that it is free from hazardous substances that could harm the environment or human health. It is also UL listed and ETL verified, giving you confidence in its safety, quality, and performance.

Applications:

This Category 6 patch cord is ideally suited for high-performance networking applications in various environments, including data centers, corporate offices, and telecommunication rooms. Whether used for connecting switches, routers, patch panels, or other networking equipment, it ensures that your network infrastructure is capable of handling high-speed data traffic with maximum reliability.
