Intellinet 742146 Cat6 Slim Boot Patch Cord 3 Foot Blue

Product Description

The INTELLINET 742146 is a Cat6 slim boot patch cord designed for high-speed network installations in commercial and residential environments. This 3-foot cable supports data transmission up to 10 Gbps and operates at a 250 MHz frequency rating. Conductors are 30 AWG stranded 100% bare copper, paired with RJ45 male connectors featuring gold-plated contacts for corrosion-resistant, long-term connectivity. The ultra-slim, flexible PVC jacket routes cleanly in tight spaces behind racks, consoles, and workstations. Licensed network technicians and IT professionals are the primary installers for this type of patch cord.

This patch cord is suited for structured cabling in server rooms, data centers, office networks, and home lab environments. The snag-free molded slim boot protects the RJ45 latch during installation and removal, reducing damage in densely packed patch panels. The cable supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications and is backward compatible with Cat5e and earlier cabling categories, making it a flexible fit across mixed-generation network infrastructure.

Compatibility

Fully backward compatible with Cat5e and previous cabling categories. Suitable for PoE applications in mixed-generation network environments.

Installation Notes

Network technicians and IT cabling professionals typically install patch cords of this type. No tools are required for standard patch panel or switch port termination. Verify existing infrastructure cabling category before deployment to confirm rated performance is achievable end-to-end. Avoid sharp bends or pinch points that exceed the cable minimum bend radius, as this can degrade signal performance.
