Collection: Cat 6 Cable (Ethernet)

A Category 6 (Cat 6) cable is a type of Ethernet cable used for networking and data transfer, offering high-speed performance and low signal interference. Designed to support data rates up to 1 Gbps (Gigabit per second) for distances up to 100 meters (328 feet) and 10 Gbps over shorter distances, Cat 6 cables are ideal for high-performance applications like gaming, video streaming, and data-intensive tasks.

Constructed with four twisted pairs of copper wires and additional insulation to reduce “crosstalk” (signal interference between wires), Cat 6 cables are thicker and more durable than earlier standards like Cat 5e. Typically, Cat 6 cables are backward compatible, meaning they can connect to devices designed for older standards. They are commonly used in both residential and commercial networks, providing reliable, fast, and secure data connections across various devices.
