Wirewin S/FTP patch cables are characterized by their high quality and are suitable for Gigabit connections with operating frequencies of up to 250 MHz. Applications for Category 6 cables include voice, multimedia, and data transmission, as well as ATM networks. The conductors are made of 100% copper and are double-shielded, while the cable features bend protection. The outer jacket is halogen-free and highly flame-resistant. Unlike conventional PVC cables, these cables are halogen-free, eliminating the dangerous release of halogenated combustion gases and minimizing smoke generation. Halogen-free cables are also flame-retardant and do not exhibit a dangerous ignition cord effect. Screened Foiled Twisted Pair (S/FTP) refers to cables that have a metallic shield around each pair of wires (FTP) and an additional overall metallic shield (S). Shielded cables exhibit minimal impedance or reactance deviations compared to unshielded ones. The transmission parameters remain relatively constant and better than those of UTP cables, even at high frequencies. Cat 6 cables are designed for operating frequencies up to 250 MHz and are frequently used in professional settings. While transmission speed may suffer over longer lengths, minor excess lengths are generally acceptable depending on external influences. Application fields for Cat 6 include voice and data transmission, as well as multimedia and ATM networks.
