CAT6 cables enable a convenient and reliable connection from one network device, such as a switch, modem, or router, to another or to the infrastructure at large through a patch panel, keystone jack, or wall outlet. This cable is also widely used in small office and home network and entertainment applications. These cables are tested up to 250 MHz (CAT6 standard) and are backward compatible with CAT5e and CAT5 cables. They are produced with latch protection, which prevents the connector from being damaged when you install the cable in tight spaces.
