Cat 6 cables, or Category 6 cables, are a type of twisted pair cables widely used in networking applications.
Key features of Cat 6 Cables:
Enhanced Performance: Complies with the Category 6 standards, supporting data transmission speeds up to 1 Gbps (1000 Mbps) at a frequency of up to 250 MHz, which is suitable for high-speed networks and applications like Gigabit Ethernet.
Conductor Type: 23 or 24 AWG solid, pure bare copper conductors, which provide optimal signal strength and are superior to copper-clad aluminum (CCA) in terms of conductivity and data transmission.
Armoring: Equipped with a heavy-duty, protective armor layer, usually made of aluminum or steel, which guards against physical damage and rodent bites, crucial for outdoor deployment.
Jacket Material: Equipped with a high-quality, UV-resistant polyethylene (PE) or Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) jacket. This material is crucial for outdoor use as it provides protection against environmental factors like UV rays, moisture, and temperature extremes.
