Cat 6 UTP Patch Cords, with a compact plug and boot, feature a narrow profile to support traditional and highdensity panels and switches. The snagless plug design makes the patch cords an excellent choice in environments where moves, adds, and changes are frequent. Shorter boot provides a shorter installed bend radius, ideal for applications with limited space. Patch cords shall meet or exceed electrical transmission performance requirements of links and channels as described in ANSI/TIA-568.2-D (Cat 6) and ISO/IEC 11801-1 (Class E) and EN 50173-1 (Class E). Patch cords shall be 24 AWG stranded conductor with an 8-position modular plug on each end. The cords shall include a narrow-profile boot that allows for easy cord removal without snagging. The cords shall be available in standard lengths of 1, 3, 5, 7, 10, 15, and 20 feet. Patch cord plug shall be clear and contacts shall have industry-standard, ANSI/TIA-1096-A compliant 50 micro inches of gold plating.
