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.
The Cables Direct ERT-605R networking cable, in red and 5 meters in length, is suitable for use in most modern IT environments, particularly in installations where high-speed, unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) Cat6 cable is needed.
