Category 6 (Cat6) is a 550MHz rated cable that is designed to handle network speeds up to 10,000mbps (55 meters max) or 1,000mbps (100m meters max). This cable uses 23AWG conductor made from bare, solid copper that are twisted into pairs with a plastic separator to prevent interference and significantly reduce cross talk - making Cat6 a better choice for large cable bundles. The LLDPE jacket has a flooded CMX outdoor, direct-burial rating meaning that it is designed to be used outdoors or in the ground without the need to use conduit. The cable is flooded with gel to prevent the ingress of water inside the cable jacket. This cable is UTP (unshielded twisted pair) and uses standard Cat6 rated RJ45 plugs, 110 blocks, or patch panels for termination.
