Category 6 UTP patch cable with halogen-free, flame-retardant jacket. The conductors are made of 100% copper and are unshielded. The cable features strain relief. The halogen-free jacket is highly flame-retardant.

The UTP cable consists of a plastic jacket that houses the unshielded, twisted pairs. Due to the absence of shielding, UTP cables have a small outer diameter, making them easy to handle and install.

The strain relief sleeves in a particularly narrow design allow for comfortable cabling, even with larger switches with 48 ports or more. Unlike conventional PVC cables, these cables are halogen-free, eliminating the dangerous release of halogen-containing combustion gases and minimizing smoke generation. Halogen-free cables are also flame-resistant, and there is no dangerous ignition cord effect.

UTP cables are the most widely used cables for Ethernet LANs worldwide. Category 6 cables are designed for operating frequencies up to 250 MHz and are often used in professional settings. While longer lengths may affect transmission speed, 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.
