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.
