Among them, Cat6 or higher are suitable for Gigabit or even 10 Gigabit network environments. The best way to choose the corresponding patch cords, is based on your actual network needs and future upgrade possibilities.
Materials: High-quality patch cords feature pure copper conductors inside, thus good conductivity and anti-interference, and the skin generally made of PVC or LSZH material, which not only ensures flexibility, but also flame-retardant and eco-friendly. At the same time, the pressing process at the connector also directly affects the performance of patch cords. The interface of superb patch cords is flat, burr-free, and seamless contact, thus effectively reducing signal loss.
Shielding layers: For occasions with complex electromagnetic environments or high requirements for data transmission stability, it is recommended to choose network cables with shielding layers, such as STP (Shielded Twisted Pair) and FTP (Foil Twisted Pair), which can sharply resist external electromagnetic interference, ensuring the safety and stability of data transmission.
Certifications: When purchasing, be sure to confirm whether the product has passed ISO, CCC, CE, UL, etc.
