Cat6 cable specifications require stagger terminated wiring, as shown at the left. Cat 6 Shielded Cable is used in network applications such as 10Base-T, 100Base-T, 1000Base-T Ethernet technology to 100 meters (328 feet), and have been designed specifically for Gigabit Ethernet applications (Gigabit over copper). They perform at high-data transfer rates, and work with ATM and gigabit speed products. These cables deliver improved performance over standard Cat5e cables.
Cat 6 is completely backward-compatible with current Cat5e equipment. Our Cat 6 Cables are composed of 4 pairs 24 AWG stranded conductors with PVC jackets. Conductors are wired to gold plated RJ45 plugs in accordance with the TIA/EIA 568A & 568B STANDARDS (Telephone Industry Association/Electronics Industry Association.) They consist of a foil shield with drain wire to protect signals from external noise. Available in nine colors. Boots match cable color. Custom modular cable assemblies are available.
Used to connect your network card to a 10/100/1000 Base-T hub or switch.
