Network cable most commonly used for the construction of local area networks. Category 6 includes cabling whose bandwidth requirements are up to 250 MHZ (bandwidth of 200 Mbps).It provides for the implementation of Gigabit Ethernet (4x 250MHz =1GHZ) and ATM transmission of 622 Mbps. It is built with 4 pairs of cables twisted together to eliminate electromagnetic and mutual interference. The cables are made of pure copper with a thickness of 23 AWG and are surrounded by a PE sheath with a diameter of 1.08 mm. The outer PE sheath is 0.60mm thick.
The PE polyethylene sheath has high mechanical strength, high chemical resistance and barrier to gases which allows the cable to be used outdoors. Packaging equipped with a self-unrolling reel allows the cable to be conveniently unrolled without becoming dangerously tangled
Extralink CAT6 FTP (F/UTP) V2 cable is designed for outdoor use and has high weather resistance. The twisted-pair cable is also often used in closed-circuit television installations, where one cable can transmit video signals from several cameras and power.
