This twisted pair data cable with four pairs of solid 23 AWG conductors allows for longer maximum cable runs and increased signal integrity. The twisted pairs are separated by a four-way separator to maintain proper spacing and reduce crosstalk between the twisted pairs. This cable also features a heavy-duty aluminum foil shield that protects against interference and crosstalk between cables as well as a dedicated tinned copper drain wire for proper shield termination.
The Cat 6 wire comes complete with a matte black, flame-retardant LSZH jacket that protects the interior workings of the cable from the harsh environment and installation stress. Distance markers are printed on the jacket every two feet so you never lose sight of how much wire you’ve installed.
This solid Cat 6 wire provides an excellent foundation for any commercial or home network. It is perfect for structured cabling and transmission of digital and analog signals for data, video, and audio applications. It meets IEEE 802.3ab for 1000Base-T and also meets both IEEE 802.3af and IEEE 802.3at for PoE and PoE+ applications. It is also suitable for HDBaseT, AES 50, AES 67, AES/EBU, Digital Video, RS-422, and tested up to 550 MHz.
