cat6 utp patch leads

4Cabling CAT6 ethernet cables are Fluke tested and are manufactured using gold plated connectors which exceed Australian industry standards.

features:
UTP CAT6 Patch Lead - Each cord has eight multi-strand conductors in 4 twisted-pair T568A color coded configuration.
Quality cable material - Fitted with 50ยตยช Category-6 compliant 2-row (staggered pins) plug and fully-molded strain-relief boot.
Molded strain relief & Low profile flush moulded boots - With molded strain relief RJ45 male-to-male connectors this cable will be strong, and robust.
Complies with the applicable electrical transmission characteristics specified in: ISO/IEC 11801 Category 6
Complies with the applicable electrical transmission characteristics specified in: TIA/EIA-568-B.2-1 Category 6

Custom Colours and Sizes can be made to your specification

Category 6 Cable Standard:
Category 6 is a standard that aims to support transmission at frequencies up to 250 MHz over 100 ohm twisted pair.
Supports current Category 6 applications such as 100BaseTX,100BaseVG, ATM, Gigabit Ethernet and all fast Ethernet protocols.

How to distinguish a Cat 6 plug from a Cat-5 or Cat-5E plug:

To distinguish a Cat-6 plug from a Cat-5 or a Cat-5E plug, just simply look at the way the cable's wires have been terminated at the end of the plug:
A Cat-5 or a Cat-5E plug will ALWAYS have all eight wires in a single row
The majority of Cat-6 plugs will have wires in two rows with four wires per row
Some Cat-6 plugs will have wires in two rows with 6 wires in the top row and 2 wires in the bottom row

Category 6 cable, commonly referred to as Cat-6, is a cable standard for Gigabit Ethernet and other network protocols that are backward compatible with the Category 5/5e and Category 3 cable standards. Compared with Cat-5 and Cat-5e, Cat-6 features more stringent specifications for crosstalk and system noise. The cable standard provides performance of up to 250 MHz and is suitable for 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX (Fast Ethernet), 1000BASE-T / 1000BASE-TX (Gigabit Ethernet) and 10GBASE-T (10-Gigabit Ethernet).

To maintain transmission characteristics and network integrity, it's essential to use the correct type of patch-cord to match the installation. A network port will perform only at the level of the LOWEST-rated component in the chain.

If a Cat-5 or Cat-5E patch-cord is used in a Cat-6 system, only Cat-5 or Cat-5E specifications will be achieved for that circuit. Many manufacturers have cables that do not meet the strict requirements set out in the CAT6 certification.

If other suppliers don't have an "A-Tick" and the ACA supplier code on their Cat 6 don't buy it!

It cannot be legally connected to the Australian communication network!

Note: Non-approved product is available on the Australian market and is often less expensive due to the use of less copper or CCA, flammable PVC jackets or poorer production methods.

    • why are you pink

      • Needed a bit of colour today…

    • +2

      These are dodgy 'cat6e' (no such thing as cat6e) cables which hardly get 100mb speeds let alone gigabit.

    • Nope. I'd trust those about as far as I could throw them.

      Tip: "cat6e" does not exist as a standard. It's used by dodgy manufacturers. At this point, I wouldn't trust MSY even if their cables claimed cat6.

      • Yep. I have some of the 'cat6e' cables getting around and I reckon they are cat 5e at best - don't feel stiff like cat6 should… They deliver gigabit over short distances though.

  • 20M Cat 6 Cable only costs us $10.50ex wholesale and we sell it for $15inc if you buy other stuff (or buy more than one cable). It costs us more to freight it from supplier.

    That's been our standard price for a while (it was even cheaper before the dollar screwed us over).

    I really don't understand why cables are so expensive. I recently needed a 1/8 phono to stereo RCA cable in a hurry and could not wait for a supplier order and paid more than 30 bucks at DS whereas I normally would buy that wholesale for about $4.

    Cables are the biggest rip off I know about really.

  • 24AWG Cat 6 15m cost me about $6.50 at Dick Smiths during one of their near-constant web sales.
