CAT6 UTP Cable

Overview

The Cattex Cat6 range is today’s gold standard when compared to the Cat 5 range. It's suitable for up to 10/100/1000 Ethernet at 250 MHz. To tackle the issue of crosstalk even better, Cat 6 cables have an internal separator that isolates pairs from one another.

UTP, 23AWG, 0.57mm, 4Pair, Grey

Category 6 cable is by definition a twisted pair, 100 Ohm cable which has transmission parameters specified up to 250 MHz. Category 6 cable is also a recognized cable in addition to those specified in 4.2.2 of ANSI/TIA/EIA-568-B.2.

Horizontal and Backbone Cable

Category 6 cable may be used for both horizontal and backbone cable. Recognized horizontal and backbone cable shall be either 4 pair 100 Ohm UTP, or ScTP, consisting of 22 AWG or 24 AWG solid conductors individually insulated by a thermoplastic material and then formed into 4 twisted pairs with an overall thermoplastic jacket. The cable shall meet the requirements of ANSI/ICEA S-80-576 applicable to four-pair inside wiring cable for plenum or general cabling within a building, ANSI/ICEA S-90-661-1994. Horizontal cable shall also meet the requirements of clauses 4.3.3.1 to 4.3.3.6 of ANSI/TIA/EIA-568-B.2. Backbone cable shall meet the requirements of clauses 4.4.3.1 to 4.4.3.6 of ANSI/TIA/EIA-568-B.2.

Cattex Cable 5 year warranty T&C:

The Cable will only be replaced if:

• It is proven that there is no malicious and obvious damage done to the Cable, and the Cable has not deteriorated because of being installed in the wrong environment.

• Other factors to be taken into account are the crimp quality / switches / and any other item that is connected to the Cable – these need to be checked to be working correctly and that the cable has not been mistakenly identified as the problem.
