Description
A 1-meter Cat6 Ethernet cable, also known as a patch cable or LAN cable, is commonly used to connect devices within a Local Area Network (LAN) over short distances.Â
Here’s a summary of its key features and applications:
Features
- Length:Â 1 meter (approx 3.2 feet).
- Speed:Â Supports up to 10 Gbps (Gigabits per second) data transfer over short distances (typically up to 55 meters), and 1 Gbps over longer distances (up to 100 meters).
- Bandwidth:Â Offers a bandwidth of up to 250 MHz, which can reach 550 MHz in some variations. This higher bandwidth allows for faster data transfer compared to Cat5e cables.
- Reduced crosstalk:Â The cable is designed with improved shielding and a tighter twist pattern in the wire pairs to reduce crosstalk and minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI).
- Connectors:Â Features RJ45 connectors with gold plating for superior conductivity and corrosion resistance.
- Construction:Â Typically made with 24 or 26 AWG (American Wire Gauge) copper or copper-clad aluminum (CCA) wire. They can be unshielded twisted pair (UTP) or shielded twisted pair (STP), with STP offering greater protection from interference.Â
Applications
- Connecting a desktop computer, laptop, smart TV, or gaming console to a router, modem, or network switch.
- Setting up home and office networks.
- Connecting network-attached storage (NAS) devices, IP cameras, and printers to a network.
- Facilitating VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) phone systems and PoE (Power over Ethernet) devices.
- Creating patch cords for data centers and enterprise networks.
- Connecting components within a home security or automation system.Â
