Cat6 is the 6th generation of twisted pair Ethernet Cabling. Cat6 patch cables provides higher performance than Cat5e and features more stringent specifications for crosstalk and system noise. Cat6 cables and components are backward compatible with Cat5 and Cat5e.Cat6 cables will deliver stable performance to 550 Mhz. Each Cat6 cable comes UL verified, and meets EIA/TIA Cat6 TIA/EIA 568-B-2.1, draft 9 standards. Cat6 patch cables will handle Bandwidth intensive applications up to 550 Mhz and beyond and reduce both impedance and structural return loss as compared to standard 100 Mhz cable!

Connector: 50-micron gold plated RJ-45 Male to Male
Conductor: 24 AWG Stranded Copper
Jacket: PVC
Molded, Snag-Free boot prevents unwanted cable snags
Applications:
-Gigabit 1000 BASE-T; 100 BASE-T; 10 BASE-T (IEEE 802.3)

-4/16 Mbps Token Ring (IEEE 802.5); 100 VG-Any LAN

-100 Mbps TP-PMD (ANSI X3T9.5); 55/155 Mbps ATM

-Voice; T1

High bandwidth applications such as 622 ATM, Wideband
Designed For: Network Adapters, Hubs, Switches, Routers, DSL/Cable Modems, Patch Panels and other twisted-pair applications
Certifications: UL Listed
Standard: Category 6 TIA/EIA- 568-B-2.1, draft 9

  • 0:15 Tools

    1:01 Separate wires inside the cable

    1:15 Separate individual wires

    2:04 straighten and cut the wires

    2:40 slide each individual wire through the little holes

    * 3:02 This is the hardest part

    3:50 double check your wires

    4:31 crimp

    4:38 test the cable

    Thanks for the video

  • Yes, sort of. Cat 5e can go to 1gbps, but that is pushing it. Cat 6 does that easily, and exceeds 1gbps.

    Most cat 5e cable isn't shielded, but some is. Not all cat 6 cable is shielded.

see all

  • umm... will this work if u connect a modem to a router? i have a laptop, will it boost my internet speed?

  • Sweet. Only took me 45 minutes to put one RJ45 on. One down 35 more to go...

  • thanks mate worked perfectly

  • Seems like a lot of work to use the wire aligning tool. What is the advantage of using that? Is it ok to just use the RJ45 connectors that you feed straight in for the Cat? That is what we have been doing for years with the Cat5.

    If you have time, please send me your opinon. Than you.

  • The thing to pay attention to is the untwisting. The twists help to control the electro-magnetic properties of the plastic, which is the important part of the data cable. Just because the cable works, doesn't mean it can't be improved. A good cable should have as little impedance as possible.

  • @BHtechnology UTP is better if you can't earth it the shielding. The shield does the opposite otherwise.

  • @BHtechnology did anyone ask?

  • Error, try again screw you youtube
