Feature

●CAT 6 NETWORK CABLE. 23 gauge, 4 pair, solid copper conductors w/ spline, unshielded (UTP). 1, 2.5, and 5 Gigabit speeds up to 328ft, 10 Gigabit up to 180ft. ETL Verified. Tested to 600MHz. PoE, PoE+, & 4PPoE/PoE++.
●OXYGEN-FREE COPPER. Oxygen-free copper (OFC) conductors result in less signal loss and are more durable than conductors made of copper-clad aluminum (CCA).
●RISER RATED. Riser (CMR) fire safety rating for installation in walls and risers (between floors) in both residential and commercial buildings. UL Certified/Listed.
●STANDARDS & WARRANTY. Performance (ETL Verified): ANSI/TIA-568.2-D, ISO/IEC 11801-1, IEC 61156-5. Power over Ethernet: IEEE 802.3af/at. Fire safety: UL 1666. Construction: UL 444, CSA 22.2 No. 214, RoHS. Includes Voltive 20 year warranty.
●TIME SAVING FEATURES. Ripcord reduces installation time. Jacket is printed with UL information, re-order part number, and foot markers which indicate precisely how much wire has been used and how much is remaining.

Category 6

Supports 1, 2.5, & 5 Gbit/s speeds up to 328ft and 10 Gbit/s up to 180ft.

Alternatives:

  • Spend less by using Cat 5e for applications which require less than 2.5 Gbit/s.
  • Upgrade to Cat 6A for applications which require 10 Gbit/s speeds up to 328ft or to future proof your installation.

Unshielded (UTP)

Suitable for applications where there is no risk of electromagnetic interference (EMI).

Alternatives:

  • Upgrade to a shielded (FTP) cable for runs near high voltage wiring or other sources of EMI such as electric motors.

Riser Rated

CMR rated for installation in walls and risers (between floors) in both residential and commercial buildings.

Alternatives:

  • Residential projects: spend less by using an in-wall (CM) rated cable.
  • Commercial projects: upgrade to a plenum (CMP) rated cable for air handling spaces.
  • Outdoor projects: use an outdoor (CMX) rated cable for exposure to sunlight or a Direct Burial rated cable for underground installation.

Bare Copper ConductorsBare Copper Conductors

Bare Copper Conductors

Copper is the industry standard wiring material for a reason. Compared to aluminum, its higher conductivity translates into improved signal transmission and more performance headroom at a given length. Coppers lower electrical resistance means that it generates less heat, which is a crucial factor in preventing the degradation and breakdown of conductor insulation. Finally, copper is more durable than aluminum and wont break while being flexed or terminated.

Patented Payout System

Cables packaged in our pull box feature a proprietary winding pattern and huge 4" payout hole which ensure the cable pays out straight, without kinks or snags.*

*Not all products are packaged in our pull box.

Rugged Pull Box

Our pull box is made of thick, double walled cardboard and features a water resistant coating & reinforced handles so it stays intact on the most demanding job sites.*

Jacket Marking

The jacket printing on our cables shows the part number, all relevant fire safety information, as well as foot markers indicating both how much wire has been used and how much is remaining.

Performance & Safety

Category 6 ? ETL Verified

ETL Verified to meet the Category 6 transmission performance requirements of the TIA-568.2-D standard. Supports speeds of 1, 2.5, & 5 Gigabit up to 328ft and 10 Gigabit up to 180ft. Sweep tested to 600MHz*.

*TIA-568.2-D only specifies performance of Category 6 cables up to 250MHz. Values above 250MHz are for informational purposes only.

Riser Rated ? UL Certified

UL Certified with a Riser (CMR) fire safety rating for installation in walls and risers (between floors) in both residential and commercial buildings in compliance with the National Electrical Code (NEC). UL is the most stringent flame testing laboratory, which makes UL Certification a mark of quality and is why weve chosen UL to flame test our cables.
