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). FEATURES 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 UL listed EIA/TIA and RCM approved ISO/IEC11801:2011(Ed.
