A CAT-6 UTP patch cord is an Ethernet cable that is commonly used for connecting devices in a local area network (LAN). It is designed to support high-speed data transmission and is backward compatible with previous versions such as CAT-5 and CAT-5e. The UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) construction consists of four pairs of twisted copper wires, which helps reduce electromagnetic interference. CAT-6 UTP patch cords are widely used in various networking applications to ensure reliable and efficient data transfer.
