Category 6 network cable

For Category 6 network cables (CAT6), in light of your business requirements as a custom production source manufacturer of network cables, we have compiled professional product information for you
I. Basic Definitions of Category 6 Network Cables
Category 6 network cables are twisted-pair transmission cables that comply with the TIA/EIA-568-C.2 international communication standard. They are currently the mainstream type of high-speed network cables in high-demand commercial and civilian scenarios. The surface of the cable is clearly marked with the words "CAT6", and some will indicate supplementary information such as transmission rate and wire gauge.
Ii. Core Technical Parameters (for Professional Reference)
These are the core professional contents for communicating with customers and introducing products:
Transmission frequency: Up to 250MHz is supported, which is 2.5 times that of Category 5e network cables (100MHz), and it can carry a higher signal bandwidth
Transmission rate
It supports high-speed data transmission of 10Gbps within a transmission distance of no more than 55 meters
It supports data transmission of 1Gbps within a standard wiring distance of no more than 100 meters
Wire gauge and material: The mainstream uses 23AWG (American wire gauge) oxygen-free copper core (which is the copper core material with the best transmission performance and is also the standard configuration in our factory)
Structural features
The twist distance of the wire pairs is tighter than that of Category 5e network cables, effectively reducing signal interference (crosstalk) between the wire pairs.
Most unshielded Category 6 network cables are equipped with cross-shaped skeletons that separate and fix the four pairs of wires, further reducing crosstalk and return loss
It is divided into two types:
Unshielded (UTP) : No shielding layer, lower cost, suitable for ordinary office and home scenarios
Shielding (FTP/STP) : With an aluminum foil (FTP) or copper mesh (STP) shielding layer, it has a stronger ability to resist electromagnetic interference and is suitable for strong interference scenarios such as computer rooms and factory workshops
Iii. Comparison with Common Network Cables (For Customers' Selection Reference)
Comparison dimensions: CAT5e network cable, CAT6 network cable, and CAT6A enhanced network cable
The maximum transmission frequencies are 100MHz, 250MHz and 500MHz
The maximum transmission rate within 100 meters is 1Gbps, 1Gbps, and 10Gbps
Short-distance maximum transmission rates: 1Gbps (≤100 meters), 10Gbps (≤55 meters), 10Gbps (≤100 meters)
The anti-interference ability is generally good and excellent
Applicable scenarios: ordinary office, high-speed office in basic home networks, high-definition monitoring, smart home data centers, high-density cabling, and industrial environments with strong interference
The core applicable scenarios of Category 4 and 6 network cables
Based on your customer base (e-commerce and enterprises in Shenzhen, as well as business partners from the same hometown), the customer demands in these scenarios are the highest:
Enterprise office local area network: It meets the needs of multiple people working at high speed simultaneously, cloud file transfer, and high-definition video conferencing
E-commerce live streaming scenarios: Wiring for live streaming rooms and bases to ensure low latency and no lag during live streaming
High-definition surveillance system: Supports data transmission from surveillance cameras with 4K/8K resolutions
Smart Home/Home Audio-visual: Adapting to the high-speed network requirements of smart home appliances, home theaters, and VR devices
