Cat6 Pure Copper cable is one of the most popular cables for residential and commercial applications. It is the successor to Cat5e ethernet cables, and Cat6a ethernet cables have replaced them. Cat6 Bare Copper cable is available in both pure copper and copper-clad aluminum, and it is the preferred choice for maximum satisfaction and superior results.
We'll talk about the Cat6 Solid Copper 1000ft in this article, and we'll go over its features to understand how it works. So hang in there with us!
Cat6 Plenum Bare Copper uses RJ45 connectors, just like its predecessors. The “Cat6” text imprinted on the insulation sheath identifies the cable. Its upgraded version allows for a data transfer rate of 10Gbps over a distance of 100 meters.
Let's talk about its main characteristics now that you have a basic understanding.
Conductors are made entirely of copper
A Plenum with Cat6 8 pure copper conductors make up Bare Copper. These conductors are bundled together in four twisted pairs to protect the signal strength and provide better protection against crosstalk and electromagnetic interference. Compared to copper-clad aluminum conductors, bare copper conductors offer significantly better insulation and can support higher data transfer rates over longer distances.
Jackets with a CMP rating
The name itself speaks for itself. CMP-rated jackets are included in the plenum version of Cat6A Solid Copper 1000ft. It means that these cables are ideal for use in building plenum spaces that are sensitive to fire. The jacket material does not produce smoke or hazardous gases, or elements when exposed to fire. The jacket's fabric acts as a fire retardant, preventing the spread of fire. The jacket is made of polyvinyl chloride of the highest quality.
Gauge of Wire
The wire used in Cat6 Solid Copper 1000ft is 23AWG. The lower the resistance and the stronger the signal, the higher the AWG.
Data Transfer Rates and Frequency
Cat6 Plenum Bare Copper has a bandwidth of 550MHz and a data transfer rate of up to 10Gbps. The length solely determines the speed of data transfer. These cables can support 10 Gbps data transfer over a distance of up to 50 meters and 1Gbps data transfer over 100 meters.
Industry Requirements
The Cat6 Bare Copper cable complies with all applicable standards, including CSA, CE, FCC, ISO/IES, and RoHS. A suitable Cat6 cable should also pass the Fluke DXT-1800 Versiv Cable Analyzer test. Cat6 Bare Copper comes in a convenient pull box because it is a bulk cable. Temperatures ranging from 0 to 60 degrees Celsius can be used to install the cable. It can also withstand temperatures as low as -25 degrees Celsius and as high as 125 degrees Celsius thanks to its high-quality jacket material.
Crosstalk protection that is second to none
Crosstalk and electromagnetic interference can significantly reduce signal quality, resulting in poor performance. Crosstalk occurs when an ethernet cable's signal bleeds and is confused with another wire's signal. As a result, it minimizes the cable's conductivity and transmission quality. Cat6 Plenum Copper addresses this issue by providing superior protection against crosstalk and unwanted interferences such as AXT (alien crosstalk), equal-level far crosstalk, and near-end crosstalk. In addition, it means that Cat6 plenum-rated cable reduces data packet loss significantly.
Fire-retardant
The thick jacket coatings on these cables are fire retardant because they are intended for installation in plenum spaces of the building. It means that in the unfortunate event of a fire, these cables will halt the spread of the fire and emit no harmful gases or smoke. Plenum cables can be used as an alternative to riser spaces because of these high standards.
