Leviton Cat 6 Unshielded Patch Cords are manufactured and tested to deliver Category 6 (Class E) performance and backward compatibility with Cat 5e. Cords use 24‑AWG stranded conductors, 8‑position RJ45 plugs with 50 μin gold plating, and compact boots for high‑density panels and blade‑style (flat) plug options. Jackets are LSHF/LSZH as standard and cords are supplied in GREENPACK bulk packaging to reduce single‑use plastics.
