Our category 6 twisted pair plus cables are standardized to 24 AWG and are the ideal solution for Gigabit Ethernet. We provide a positive PSACR beyond 250 MHz for evolving bandwidth requirements. They are designed with shielding to offer maximum pair separation which directly increases key electrical performance parameters.
Construction
Solid bare copper conductors insulated with thermoplastics polyolefin. Two insulated conductors twisted together. Four such pairs separated by cross filler. The outer jacket is made with PVC, LSZH, PE compound.
