CONTECH Category 6 SF/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:
- Data Centre & Telecommunications.
- Enterprise & Office Networks.
- IP Surveillance & Security Systems.
- Residential & Commercial Installations.
- Versatile Use: Suitable for homes, offices, schools, retail, and hospitality networks.
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.
- Cat-6 U-UTP 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 LSZH jacket is flame-retardant and produces minimal smoke and zero halogen gases during combustion.
Standard:
- ISO/IEC 11801 Class E.
- EN 50173-1 & EN 50288-6-1
- ANSI/TIA-568.2-D
- EC 60332-1, (LSZH Version)
- RoHS & CE
