Our category 6 twisted pair cables are characterized and tested to 250MHz and standardized to 23 AWG. We provide a positive PSACR up to 300 MHz for evolving and subsequent bandwidth requirements. They are tape design engineered for smaller overall diameter and ease of installation.

Construction

Solid bare copper conductors insulated with polyolefin. Two insulated conductors twisted together to form a pair and four such pairs cabled to form the basic unit. A cross filler is cabled in between to separate the 4 pairs insulated conductors. The overall jacket is with LSZH compound.
