Cables and patch-cords Category 6
Category 6
Data cable category Cat 6 complies with the standard for Gigabit Ethernet and it is backwards compatible, with the standards of the inferior categories (Cat 5/5e and Cat 3). Category 6 evolves over category 5E, allowing to achieve transmission frequencies of up to 250 MHz (in each pair) and 1 Gbps of throughput. It includes characteristics and specifications to avoid crosstalk and noise. This type of data cable can be used in 10BASE-T, 100BASE-T and 1000BASE-T (Gigabit Ethernet) compliant systems.
They are characterized for:
- Comply with TIA/EIA-568B.2-1
- Crucifix type padding
- Transfer rate up to 1Gbps
- Frequency range of up to 250 MHz
- Includes rip cord to make it easier to strip the cable
- Nominal impedance of 100 ohms
- Maximum resistance per conductor below 9.38 ohms/100m

Copper (Cu)
The best quality materials for the professional networks
- The best conductor for data cable
- Essential for the installation of fixed commercial networks: high performance and compliant with standards EN 50173 Class E (250MHz)

Copper Clad Aluminium (CCA)
Budget alternative for domestic networks
- Light and economical: The CCA (Copper Clad Aluminium) conductors replace a portion of the inner copper conductor for aluminium
- Installation in domestic networks where performance is not as critical
