RS PRO, 100m Cat6, Black, U/UTPUnshielded, Unterminated PE Sheath / 9164103

RS PRO Cat 6 UTP Solid Cable. Category 6 or Cat6 cable for short is the 6th generation of twisted pair Ethernet cabling that is widely used in both business and home network installations. It is commonly known as a network cable, LAN or Ethernet cable. It consists of 4 twisted pairs of sheathed copper wire cable, able to support a high data transfer. Cat 6 cables are backwards compatible with Cat5/ Cat5e and Cat3. This un-terminated Cat 6 cable has 8 solid conductors in 4 twisted pairs. It can be identified as Cat 6 cable by the labelling on the outer sheath, making measuring and installations easier. Bandwidth is the rate of data transfer, the carrying of information from one place to another, the higher the bandwidth, the faster the data can be pushed across a network. The bandwidth of Cat6 cable is 250 MHz, significantly faster than that of Cat5e. They are unshielded twisted pairs (UTP), a popular type of cable consisting of two unshielded wires twisted around each other. Due to the cables being twisted together both cross-talk and system noise levels are reduced. Features and Benefits. Different coloured cable sheaths, ideal for identification purposes Ethernet cable supplied in a useful pull box 4 twisted pairs of 8 solid conductors High speed and performance of data transmission Cat6 cables are backward compatible, they interact with older data and systems Reduced crosstalk and noise levels.
