This category is specifically designed to support high–speed computer networks operating on a bandwidth of 125 MHz. The transfer rate in the conditions of using two pairs is up to 100 Mbit/s, four pairs – up to 1000 Mbit/s. They have better performance compared to Cat 5 cables. The conductors in it are twisted together and equipped with a plastic shell (polyethylene for external, polyvinyl chloride for internal work).
The cable retains its technical characteristics for a long period of operation. At the moment, this is the most common type of cable products for building small local area networks, it has the following properties:
It is used for laying indoor networks, telephone lines, is widely used for video surveillance, alarm systems and other purposes.
