General Detail

Category 6 (Cat6) is a 550MHz rated cable that is designed to handle network speeds up to 10,000mbps (55 meters max) or 1,000mbps (100m meters max). This cable uses 23AWG conductor made from bare, solid copper that are twisted into pairs with a plastic separator to prevent interference and significantly reduce cross talk – making Cat6 a better choice for large cable bundles. The LLDPE jacket has a CMX outdoor, UV-resistant rating meaning that it is designed to be used outdoors above the ground and can have direct exposure to the UV. This cable is UTP (unshielded twisted pair) and uses standard Cat6 rated RJ45 plugs, 110 blocks, or patch panels for termination.
