Connect switches, patch panels, access points, IP cameras, LED signage, and other RJ45 network endpoints with a short 18 in Cat6 UTP patch lead. The orange jacket provides immediate visual identification in densely patched racks, cabinets, work areas, and structured-cabling handoffs. CAT6UTP18INOR carries Ethernet traffic at up to 10 Gbps and supports up to 100 W Power over Ethernet under IEEE 802.3bt Type 4. The cable uses 24 AWG stranded, pure bare copper conductors for flexible patching between nearby ports. Its unshielded twisted-pair construction supports standard copper Ethernet connections without adding shield bonding requirements. Snagless RJ45 connector boots help protect the locking tab during cable moves and reduce catches when routing through cable management. Gold-plated connector contacts support consistent electrical contact at the plug-to-jack interface. A 6.0 mm outside diameter balances flexible routing with a substantial jacket for everyday patching. The CM-rated PVC jacket is intended for general installation spaces, while Fluke DSX-8000 channel testing documents channel-level performance verification. This specific cable combines a compact 18 in length with an orange finish, making it suited to short, color-organized connections rather than longer horizontal runs.
