Cat 6 data cable meets the standard for Gigabit Ethernet cabling and is backward compatible with Cat 5/5e. Category 6 is an improvement over Category 5e, enabling transmission frequencies up to 250 MHz (per pair) and a data capacity of 1 Gbps. It is manufactured with characteristics and specifications designed to minimize crosstalk and interference. This type of data cable can be used in 10BASE-T, 100BASE-T, and 1000BASE-T compatible systems.
Key features of our Category 6 (Cat6) cable:

Transmission speed up to 1 Gbps
Frequency range up to 250 MHz (and up to 400 MHz in some references)
Includes an extra rip cord for easier stripping
Nominal impedance: 100 ohms
