Cables are the branches of the electrical system tree; they are responsible for conducting and transporting any type of energy from one side to the other. There are numerous types of cables; we are going to dive deeper into one of these types, which is the cat 6 cable.
Category 6 cable is a networking and data cable that is known for providing high speed and better performance than other cables similar to it. We will explore its specifications and uses and we will introduce a price list for cat 6 cables in Saudi Arabia.
What Are the Specifications of Category 6 Cables?
Speed and Performance:
These cables can handle up to 10 Gbps (gigabits per second) at a maximum bandwidth of 250 MHz. In comparison to Category 5 cables that can handle 1 (Gbps) Gigabit per second at 100 MHz up to 328 feet, considering that you can understand the difference clearly. There are a variety of categories not just these two and you can understand the difference between them in this article about Ethernet Cables.
Design
Category 6 cables are designed with tighter twists and include thicker copper conductors. In some designs, there is also a plastic insulator to reduce interference between each pair.
Length
The maximum length for Cat 6 cables to maintain optimal performance is typically (180 feet) for 10 Gbps networks or 100 meters (328 feet) for 1 Gbps networks. This ensures high-speed data transmission over greater distances with reduced interference and signal loss.
Shield
This cable comes in two designs: shielded (STP) and unshielded (UTP) types. The shielded type provides extra protection against electromagnetic interference, making them ideal for environments with high interference levels.
What Are the Uses of Category 6 Cables?
