APPLICATION

Cat6 Cable is a cable standard for Gigabit Ethernet and other network protocol, suitable for 10BaseT,

100BaseTx & 1000BaseT (Gigabit Ethernet) application. In addition, these cables can be offered with copper

wire braid armoured & flame retardant outer sheath, providing additional mechanically protection still

maintaining the flexibility of the cable.
