Cabling

Cat 6 |
| Cat 6
is the performance option for a network
infrastructure. |
| With
future requirements in mind, all links are 100%
tested to at least 250 MHz and exhibit transmission
performance that far exceed ISO/IEC, EN and TIA/EIA
specifications. |
| |
| The need
for this increased cabling bandwidth is the ongoing
development of higher speed protocols. Category 5
cabling, when launched a decade ago had a much
higher capability than the 10M Ethernet or 16M token
ring protocols used but it has now reached the end
of its lifetime with the advent of Gigabit Ethernet.
Category 6 now provides additional headroom and as a
result, new developments in higher speed protocols
will concentrate on Category 6 performance. Category
6 increases lifetime capabilities, ultimately
resulting in a maximum return on investment. |
