How to make a Cat6 cable.

Fast Ethernet and Gigabit computer networks require Enhanced Category 6 high-speed cabling to distribute data, voice and video. Cables4sure Enhanced Cat6 500Mhz Snag less Patch Cables are always extremely High quality. These CAT6 cables will handle bandwidth intensive applications up to 500 Mhz and beyond. Each CAT6 cable comes UL verified to meet all Cat 6 cables TIA/EIA standards, and drastically reduce both impedance and structural return loss (SRL) as compared to standard 250 Mhz CAT5e cable. Constructed with high-quality wire and a shortened body plug will keep Near-end Cross talk (NEXT) levels to a minimum. The molded, snag-free boot prevents unwanted cable snags during installation and provides extra strain-relief. Cables4sure 500 MHz Snag less CAT6 patch cables are available in a variety of colors to easily color-code your network installation.

-Cat6 cable connector: 50-micron gold plated RJ-45 Male to Male

-Cat6 cable conductor: 4-pair 24 AWG Stranded Copper

-Cat6 cable jacket: PVC

-Molded, Snag-Free boot prevents unwanted cable snags

CAT6 cable definition:

Ethernet cable standard is defined by the Electronic Industries Association and Telecommunications Industry Association (commonly known as EIA/TIA). CAT6 is the 6th generation of twisted pair Ethernet cabling and the most popular of all twisted pair cables in use today The Category 6 standard is now officially part of the 568A standard. Cat6 is recommended for all new installations, and was designed for transmission speeds of up to 10 gigabit per second (10 Gigabit Ethernet). Maximum length for CAT6 cable: 100m
