CATEGORY 6 CABLE STANDARD:

Category 6 is a standard that aims to support transmission at frequencies up to 250 MHz over 100 ohm twisted pair.

Supports current Category 6 applications such as 100BaseTX,100BaseVG, ATM, Gigabit Ethernet and all fast Ethernet protocols.

How to distinguish a Cat 6 plug from a Cat-5 or Cat-5E plug:

To distinguish a Cat-6 plug from a Cat-5 or a Cat-5E plug, just simply look at the way the cable’s wires have been terminated at the end of the plug:

A Cat-5 or a Cat-5E plug will ALWAYS have all eight wires in a single row

The majority of Cat-6 plugs will have wires in two rows with four wires per row

Some Cat-6 plugs will have wires in two rows with 6 wires in the top row and 2 wires in the bottom row

Category 6 cable, commonly referred to as Cat-6, is a cable standard for Gigabit Ethernet and other network protocols that are backward compatible with the Category 5/5e and Category 3 cable standards. Compared with Cat-5 and Cat-5e, Cat-6 features more stringent specifications for crosstalk and system noise. The cable standard provides performance of up to 250 MHz and is suitable for 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX (Fast Ethernet), 1000BASE-T / 1000BASE-TX (Gigabit Ethernet) and 10GBASE-T (10-Gigabit Ethernet).

To maintain transmission characteristics and network integrity, it’s essential to use the correct type of patch-cord to match the installation. A network port will perform only at the level of the LOWEST-rated component in the chain.

If a Cat-5 or Cat-5E patch-cord is used in a Cat-6 system, only Cat-5 or Cat-5E specifications will be achieved for that circuit.

If other suppliers don’t have an “A-Tick” and the ACA supplier code on their Cat 6 don’t buy it!

It cannot be legally connected to the Australian communication network!

Note: Non-approved product is available on the Australian market and is often less expensive due to the use of less copper or CCA, flammable PVC jackets or poorer production methods.
