Performance Parameters
- Data Rate: Supports Gigabit Ethernet; short-distance 10G links should be confirmed based on link length, termination components, and test results.
- 10G / 40G Assessment: Not recommended for 40G copper cabling projects.
- Transmission Frequency: Supports up to 250MHz.
- Attenuation: Measures link signal loss and is suitable for project acceptance and bulk procurement sampling inspection.
- Crosstalk: Measures near-end crosstalk, power-sum crosstalk, and related parameters to help verify link stability.
Link testing or outgoing random inspection can be provided based on project acceptance requirements.
Compatibility
- Compatible with RJ45 copper cabling environments used with Cisco, HPE, Huawei, Juniper, TP-Link, and similar equipment.
- Supports T568A / T568B termination standards for easy integration into existing structured cabling systems.
- Can be connected to switches, routers, patch panels, information modules, and faceplates.
- Recommended for use with Cat6 modules, patch panels, and RJ45 connectors to prevent lower-grade accessories from affecting link performance.
- Packaging: Pull box, reel, carton, and pallet packaging are available.
- Export Packaging: Reinforced cartons, pallet packing, and outer-carton shipping marks can be provided.
- MOQ: Standard specifications can be ordered by full carton or full reel.
- Custom MOQ: Special-color, shielding-structure, printing, or OEM packaging orders are confirmed by project quantity; custom projects can be discussed for requirements of RMB 200,000 or above.
Installation & Use
- Installation: Supports conduit, cable tray, trunking, underfloor routing, and in-wall pre-embedded cabling.
- Pre-terminated: Pre-terminated service is available; cables can be cut to specified lengths and pre-fitted with RJ45 connectors.
- Termination Standard: Use either T568A or T568B consistently during installation; mixing both wiring schemes in the same project is not recommended.
- Installation Notes: Avoid excessive bending, compression, and heavy pulling; avoid long parallel runs with power cables.
- Installation Check: After installation, check the wiring sequence, continuity, and link length; Fluke testing can be performed as required for project acceptance.
Materials & Construction
- Copper Purity: 99.99% high-purity oxygen-free copper conductors can be used to reduce transmission loss.
- Cable Construction: Multi-pair twisted copper conductor construction; shielding options can be confirmed as UTP, FTP, SFTP, or other configurations.
- Jacket Material: Optional LSZH low-smoke zero-halogen jacket for indoor projects and public-building cabling.
- Specification Confirmation: Conductor gauge, shielding structure, jacket color, outer diameter, and printing can be confirmed according to order requirements.
Lead Time & Supply Capacity
- In-stock Availability: Common cable specifications are usually in stock for replenishment and urgent projects.
- Production Lead Time: For items not in stock, production usually takes approximately 10 working days.
- Custom Lead Time: For color, shielding structure, jacket material, printing, or OEM packaging requirements, lead time is confirmed based on order quantity and production schedule.
- Shipment Confirmation: Inventory quantity, packaging method, and estimated dispatch time can be confirmed before ordering.
OEM/ODM Capabilities
- Supports 23AWG, 24AWG conductor options.
- Supports U/UTP or F/UTP construction options.
- Available with PVC, LSZH, PE, and other jacket materials.
- Jacket color, meter marking, inkjet printing, model marking, and customer branding can be customized.
- Supports 305 m box or roll packaging, carton labels, and neutral packaging customization.

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of networks is Category 6 Cable suitable for?
-
It is suitable for Gigabit Ethernet, office networks, building structured cabling, and integrated data, voice, and video transmission.
What is the difference between Cat6 and Cat5e?
-
Cat6 offers higher transmission performance and better crosstalk control than Cat5e, making it more suitable for Gigabit networks and projects requiring higher stability.
Can Cat6 cable be used in a Cat6A system?
-
It can be physically connected, but the overall link performance is limited by the lowest-rated component. For Cat6A performance, Cat6A cable and matched components should be used.
Can different jacket materials be selected?
-
Yes. PVC, LSZH, or PE jackets can be selected according to the installation environment.
What is the normal lead time?
-
Standard products can be shipped quickly if in stock; out-of-stock items are typically produced within about 10 working days after order confirmation and receipt of deposit.
