4Cabling 2.5m Cat 6 Ethernet Network Cable Red The 4Cabling Cat 6 Patch Ethernet Cables allow for better signal to noise ratio with minimal loss - which translates to faster and more reliable networks for today's applications, Cat 6 cable commonly used where performance, reliability, and maximum speed are needed. Category 6 cable, commonly referred to as Cat-6, is a cable standard for Gigabit Ethernet and other network protocols that are backward compatible with the Category 5/5e and Category 3 cable standards. & Compared with Cat-5 and Cat-5e, Cat-6 ethernet cable features more stringent specifications for crosstalk and system noise. The cable standard provides the performance of up to 250 MHz and is suitable for 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX (Fast Ethernet), 1000BASE-T / 1000BASE-TX (Gigabit Ethernet) and 10GBASE-T (10-Gigabit Ethernet). 2.2) ANSI/TIA/EIA-568-C.2 EN 50173-1:2011 EN 50173-2:2007 including amendment A1:2010 IEC61935-2:2010(Ed.3.0) (transmission requirements) FEATURES RJ-45 connectors Impedance Matched - Wire and connectors are carefully matched to virtually eliminate echoing and cancellation, providing high speed, error-free transmission Gold Plated Contacts - Gold plating eliminates corrosion and provides maximum conductivity to ensure data integrity Unique PVC Jacket - Exclusive polymer technology provides unsurpassed durability and flexibility Snag Free Boots - Prevent cable kinks and bent pins when removing them from patch panels Strain Relief - Increases strength while sustaining maximum flexibility even under extreme conditions How to distinguish a Cat 6 plug from a Cat-5 or Cat-5E plug: & To distinguish a Cat-6 plug from a Cat-5 or a Cat-5E plug, just simply look at the way the cable's wires have been terminated at the end of the plug: A Cat-5 or a Cat-5E plug will ALWAYS have all eight wires in a single row The majority of Cat-6 plugs will have wires in two rows with four wires per row Some Cat-6 plugs will have wires in two rows with 6 wires in the top row and 2 wires in the bottom row WHY 4CABLING?
