What does a CAT6 Cable (Category 6 Cable) mean ?
A CAT6 Cable ( Category 6 Ethernet Cable ) is a Twisted Pair cable specifically used in a Gigabit (Gb) Ethernet Computer Network. In 2002, It was jointly defined and specified by Electronic Industries Association (EIA) and Telecommunication Industries Association (TIA).
*TIPS : When Picking up a CAT6 Ethernet Cable, Do look out for EIA/TIA Compliant
What is the Application for CAT6 Ethernet Cable ?
A CAT6 Ethernet Cable are mainly used for Home Network or Office Network. In a Network environment reaching a Gb, 1000Mbps or 1Gbps of Data Transfer Speed Rate (DTR) or Higher.
Characteristics of a CAT6 Ethernet Cable
It consists of 4 pairs of copper wires, They are all for Data Transfer.
Provides a bandwidth of 250Mhz, Speed Up to 10 Gbps, And maybe stretched up to 100 meters in length/distance.
It Provides more quality crosstalk and attenuation protection than the previous twisted pair cable versions.
CAT6 Ethernet Cables for Home Network and Office Network
*TIPS : CAT6 Ethernet Cable are supported by Ethernet Networks, Including 10BaseT, 100Base-TX, 1000Base-T, and 10Gbase-T.
