Category 6 cables are the standard for Gigabit Ethernet and other network protocols and are backward compatible with the Category 5/5e and Category 3 cable standards.
Compared with Cat-5 and Cat-5e, Cat-6 features more stringent specifications for crosstalk and system noise. The cable standard provides a minimum 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).Upgrades any Cat 5 channel for supporting.
Upgrades any Cat 5 channel for supporting 100 Megabit and Gigabit Ethernet. High quality molded design. Great for patch bays and jack fields where longer cables would otherwise create a rat's nest.Features
- Increase network efficiency
- 50u" gold plating on the contacts; full FCC part 68 compliance
- Molded strain relief ensures a more secure connection; keeps cable within Cat-6 bending radius
- All cables pass Cat-6 1000base-T testing using Agilent WireScope 350
- Designed according to the TIA/EIA 568 B-2.1 specification
*Grey standard. Other colors and custom lengths always available from our cable shop.
