APPLICATION
Cat6 Cable is a cable standard for Gigabit Ethernet and other network protocol, suitable for 10BaseT,
100BaseTx & 1000BaseT (Gigabit Ethernet) application. In addition, LSZH Flame Retardant CAT6
CWB/SWB/SWA Armoured Data Cables cables can be offered with copper wire braid armoured & flame
retardant outer sheath, providing additional mechanically protection still maintaining the flexibility of the cable.
