The standard transmission distance of Category 6 network cables

Support for Gigabit Ethernet (1Gbps) : This is a common application scenario for Category 6 network cables. At this rate, its standard transmission distance is 100 meters. Moreover, the comprehensive cabling standards clearly stipulate that the horizontal cabling length should not exceed 90 meters, and the total link length (including the patch cord part) should not exceed 100 meters. This distance can meet the cabling needs of the vast majority of

households and small and medium-sized enterprises.Short-distance support for 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10Gbps) : To achieve high-speed transmission of 10Gbps, the transmission distance of Category 6 network cables will be significantly reduced, with the standard distance limited to within 55 meters. Once the distance exceeds this limit, the signal attenuation and crosstalk of 10-gigabit transmission will increase significantly, and the transmission stability cannot be guaranteed. If it is in a complex wiring environment with a high crosstalk potential, this effective distance may be further reduced to about 33 meters.
