The Signamax Category 6 118 Series 24 AWG Unscreened Patch Cords have been designed to meet the need for today’s mid-level demand applications. These patch cords incorporate a slim profile snag-free boot design which protects the plug latch and offers greater flexibility. The cords are 100% transmission tested and support category 6 100-meter channel performance.
Manufactured using ETL verified 24-AWG stranded cable design to support a greater service life. Assembled in a controlled environment to ensure consistent quality, these patch cords provide reliable performance when mated with our category 6 connecting hardware and deliver supreme performance for network cabling systems.
