Product Description
Two metres of white Cat6 cable with an RJ45 plug on each end. RJ45 is the eight-pin network connector. The Cat6 Ethernet Cable - High-Speed RJ45 Network Patch Lead 2m White (SKU RJ45-NETWORK-CABLE-CAT6-2M-W) links two devices that sit close together, in an office, at home or in a CCTV setup.
What each spec means
- Length: 2m (4.92ft). A short hop between nearby equipment, with little slack to tidy away.
- Type: Cat.6, U/UTP. U/UTP stands for unshielded twisted pair. The wire pairs are twisted, with no screen around them.
- Bandwidth: 250MHz. This is the signal frequency range (megahertz) the cable is rated for.
- Attenuation: 32.8dB/100m at 250MHz. Attenuation is signal loss, measured in decibels (dB) over a 100m length.
- Conductor: 24AWG copper. AWG is American Wire Gauge. 24AWG describes the thickness of the copper wire.
- Connectors: RJ45 male at both ends. Polycarbonate housing, gold-plated copper alloy pins.
- Jacket: white PVC, 5.8mm (0.23in) diameter.
- Minimum bend radius: 69mm (2.72in). Keep curves wider than this.
- Temperature: operates from -10°C to 60°C and can be stored from -20°C to 75°C.
What else you need
Both devices must have an RJ45 socket. If the gap between them is more than 2m, you will need a longer cable.
