CONTECH Category 6 F/UTP cables are engineered to exceed Category 6 / Class E specifications, delivering high-performance connectivity for modern structured cabling systems. Tested up to 250 MHz, these cables are optimized to support Gigabit Ethernet applications, including 1000Base-T and 1000Base-TX over distances up to 100 meters.
Applications:
- Industrial & Harsh Environments : Used in low-EMI environments for automation and control systems.
- Telecom Towers & Rooftop Installations Weatherproofing ensures reliable performance in exposed locations.
Key Features:
- Cat 6 supports frequencies up to 250 MHz..
- Cat6 supports 1 Gbps up to 100 m; 10 Gbps over shorter distances (≤55 m) — ideal for data centres, enterprise LANs, and server rooms.
- Overall Foil shield reduces crosstalk and EMI (electromagnetic interference)..
- Suitable for Power over Ethernet applications (PoE/PoE+/4PPoE) according to IEEE 802.3af, Type 3 (PoE+)up to 60W
- The optional outer PE jacket resists moisture, UV radiation and abrasion-resistant,, making it ideal for outdoor installations.
Standard:
- ISO/IEC 11801 Class E.
- EN 50173-1 & EN 50288-6-1 .
- ANSI/TIA-568.2-D
