Cat6 solid cable is defined in TIA/EIA-568-B delivers a significant enhancement in performance over Cat5 and Cat5e. Cat 6 550Mhz unshielded Plenum Solid Blue Bulk Cable supports all category 6 applications including Ethernet 100BASE -TX, 100BASE-VG, and 155 ATM. Particularly suited for high bandwidth applications such as 622 ATM, Wideband, Ethernet 1000BASE-T and emerging applications with anticipated data rates to 3.2 Gbps. No. 23 AWG solid conductor insulated with FEP. Two colored mated insulated conductors twisted together to form a pair and four pairs assembled around a pair separator to form a core During the process of Cat6 manufacturing Cat6 cables are more tightly twisted than either cat5 or cat5e and they often have an outer foil or braided shielding. The shielding of the cable protects the twisted pairs of wires inside the Ethernet Cable. It also helps to prevent noise and crosstalk interference. Technically up to 1 Gbps speed supported by CAT 6 Solid Cable but it can be done only so for up to 60 Meters. Originally it is designed to support Gigabit Ethernet applications. It is similar to Cat5e but CAT 6 has an extra thing in the jacket that is a physical separator in the cable between the four pairs which allows gigabit transmission and further reduces electromagnetic interference over CAT5e. CAT6 cable is able to support speeds of 1 Gbps for up to 100 (330 Feet) meters. And 10 Gbps of up to only 55 meters (180) nowadays CAT6 is a standard for cabling installations technicians however its most important to note that all cabling components which are patch cords, patch panels, and jacks.
