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 55e 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 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. To maintain transmission characteristics and network integrity, it39s essential to use the correct type of patch-cord to match the installation. A network port will perform only at the level of the lowest-rated component in the chain. Features utp cat6 patch lead - each cord has eight multi-strand conductors in 4 twisted-pair t568a color coded configuration. Quality cable material - fitted with 50 category-6 compliant 2-row staggered pins plug and fully-molded strain-relief boot. Molded strain relief amp low profile flush moulded boots - with molded strain relief rj45 male-to-male connectors this cable will be strong, and robust. Packaged in heat-sealed hang-sell bags. Complies with the applicable electrical transmission characteristics and flame tests specified in asacifs0082006 isoiec 11801 category 6 tiaeia-568-b.2-1 category 6
