Description

CommScope CAT 6 UTP 23 AWG Cable 305 MTR

This CommScope Category 6 (Cat 6) Unshielded Twisted Pair (U/UTP) cable is a high-performance solution designed for professional network installations requiring superior data integrity and support for modern applications. Furthermore, provided in a convenient 305-meter (1000 ft) reel, this cable is the ideal choice for creating reliable horizontal runs in structured cabling systems across offices, data centers, and commercial buildings.

Key Features

• Category 6 Performance: Exceeds the stringent requirements of ANSI/TIA-568.2-D and ISO/IEC 11801 Class E standards, thereby ensuring exceptional Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T) performance and support for up to 400 MHz bandwidth.

• 23 AWG Solid Conductors: Unlike the thinner 24 AWG, the 23 American Wire Gauge (AWG) solid copper conductors are thicker, consequently resulting in lower electrical resistance. Indeed, this is crucial for reduced signal attenuation (loss) over the full 100-meter channel length and provides better support for:

  • Longer Transmission Distances: Specifically, it maintains signal quality over extended runs.

  • Power over Ethernet (PoE) Applications: Moreover, the lower resistance enables the cable to safely and efficiently handle higher power levels, ultimately fully complying with standards like IEEE 802.3bt (Type 4) for powering devices such as IP cameras, WAPs, and VoIP phones.

• U/UTP Construction: The cable uses an unshielded (UTP) design with four twisted pairs of solid bare copper wire. In short, this construction is highly effective for noise cancellation and simpler to terminate than shielded cables, while also often including a central isolator/separator to minimize crosstalk between pairs.

• Safety and Compliance: Available with various jacket materials, for example, PVC (for non-plenum spaces) or Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH), which means it is essential for environments where smoke and toxic fumes in a fire are a concern. Therefore, the cable is designed to comply with critical fire safety and regulatory standards.

This CommScope 23 AWG Cat 6 cable in conclusion delivers a high-quality, future-proof network backbone for robust enterprise and commercial installations.
