RADICAB Category 6 UTP cable, commonly referred to as CAT 6 UTP is a standardised twisted pair cable for Gigabit Ethernet and other network physical layers that is backward compatible with CAT5/5E. CAT6 features more stringent specifications for crosstalk and system noise. The cable standard provides performance of upto 250 MHz.
Unique features:
- Exceptional material properties and cable design.
- High ACR values-providing low BER (Bit Error-Rate).
- Exceeds cat 6 Best transmission performance.
- Extremely high pair-balance-providing excellent EMC (Electromagnetic compatibility).
- Maximum noise immunity.
- UL-94V0 rated Plastics.
- ETL Verified.
- Longer Cable segment Length.
- High speed data access.
- Total end-to-end horizontal cabling solution.
- Unshielded Twisted Cable.
- Cable supports frequencies up to 250 MHz.
- Cable supports data transfer speeds up to 1000Mbps – Gigabit.
- Available in 100 & 305 MTR Box packaging.
