Mtec Cat6 Utp Data Cable

CAT6 UTP (Category 6 Unshielded Twisted Pair) data cables are a widely used type of networking cable designed to support high-speed data transmission for various applications. Here are key features and information about CAT6 UTP cables:

1. Data Transmission Speed and Bandwidth:
   • CAT6 UTP cables support data transmission speeds of up to 10 Gbps (gigabits per second) over a maximum distance of 100 meters.
   • They have a bandwidth capacity of 250 MHz.
2. Twisted Pair Structure:
   • CAT6 UTP cables consist of four pairs of copper wires, twisted together to reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI) and crosstalk.
   • Each pair is color-coded and twisted at a specific rate to minimize signal interference.
3. Unshielded (UTP):
   • CAT6 UTP cables do not have additional shielding to protect against electromagnetic interference.
   • They are cost-effective and widely used in environments where EMI is not a significant concern.
4. Backward Compatibility:
   • CAT6 UTP cables are backward compatible with lower category cables, such as CAT5e and CAT5, allowing for easy integration into existing network infrastructures.
5. Usage and Applications:
   • Commonly used in Ethernet networks for connecting computers, printers, routers, switches, and other networking devices within a local area network (LAN).
   • Suitable for both residential and commercial installations.
6. Structured Cabling:
   • CAT6 UTP cables are an essential component of structured cabling systems, providing the backbone for reliable network connectivity.
7. Wiring Standards:
   • Follows the ANSI/TIA/EIA-568-B standard for structured cabling, which specifies the requirements for CAT6 cabling systems.
8. Jacket Types and Colors:
   • CAT6 UTP cables typically have PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) or LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jackets.
   • Jackets are available in various colors for easy identification and organization during installation.
9. Available Lengths:
   • CAT6 UTP cables come in various standard lengths, typically ranging from 1 to 100 meters.
10. Installation Guidelines:
    • Proper installation techniques, including maintaining minimum bend radius and avoiding excessive pulling, are crucial to maintain optimal performance.
