5-75FT Cat6 Network LAN Ethernet SSTP Shielded Cable Cord Gold 26AWG Purple LOT

Cat.6 Shielded (SSTP) Patch Cable Molded Purple

TIA/EIA

TIA/EIA is abbreviation of Telecommunication Industry Association and Electronics Industry Alliance that sets telecommunication standards in the US. Our patch cable complies with the latest TIA/EIA telecommunication cable standards.

T-568B Wiring

There are two standards for wiring color code, 568A and 568B. While there's no difference in connectivity between 568A and 568B, 568B is the most prevalent wiring color code in the US. Our patch cable is 568B wired.

UTP and SSTP

UTP is Unshielded Twisted Pair and SSTP is double shielded (each pair foil shielded then 4 pair braid shielded). Both have the same Ethernet communication performance, but SSTP has better protection against Electro-Magnetic noise from outside. UTP is accepted for residential and general commercial installation.

CM rated jacket

CM for communication. It is set by UL (Underwriters laboratory) to indicate the wire jacket material safety. CM rating is safe to use in residential and general commercial installations.

24AWG and Standard

AWG (American Wire Gauge) indicates wire thickness. Higher the number, thinner the wire. 24AWG or 26AWG is commonly used for ethernet cables. Stranded wire is a bundle of thin wires as opposed to solid wire that is single solid wire. Stranded wire is more flexible than solid wire and commonly used for indoor network wiring such as patch cable.

RoHS

This directive restricts the use of materials such as lead or mercury in the manufacture of electronic and electrical equipment. Our cables are all RoHS compliant.
