What network cable does cat6 u/utp belong to?

　　CAT6 U/UTP belongs to Category 6 Unshielded Twisted Pair Category 6), referred to as Category 6 cable or CAT-6 cable. The following is a detailed explanation of the CAT6 U/UTP network cable:

　　First, the logo and standards

　　Logo: CAT6 U/UTP cables are usually marked with the words "CAT6" or "Category 6" on the outer skin to indicate that they meet the standards of Category 6 cables.

　　Standard: The CAT6 U/UTP cable meets the TIA/EIA-568-B.2-1 standard, which is a high-performance cable specification.

　　II. Structure and Specifications

　　Structure: CAT6 The U/UTP cable is made up of four pairs of tranSMission lines of different colors, each pair of twisted pairs is made of two insulated copper wires twisted together. This design helps to resist external electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI), reducing crosstalk between wire pairs, thus providing stable data transmission.

　　Specifications: CAT6 The bare copper wire diameter of U/UTP network cable is usually 0.57mm (23AWG for wire gauge), and the insulated wire diameter is 1.02mm. Its diameter is relatively small compared to shielded twisted pair (STP).

　　III. Performance characteristics

　　High-speed transmission: The CAT6 U/UTP network cable supports transmission speeds up to 10Gbps, making it suitable for high-speed transmission scenarios such as large enterprises and data centers.

　　High stability: Its unshielded twisted pair design helps to resist external electromagnetic interference and ensure the stability of data transmission.

　　Compatibility: CAT6 U/UTP network cable not only supports Gigabit Ethernet transmission, but also backward compatible with other network standards, such as Category 5 and Super Category 5 network cables, making network upgrades more flexible and convenient.

　　Transmission distance: according to the specification requirements, CAT6 The transmission distance of the U/UTP network cable must not exceed 100 meters. In short distances, higher transmission speeds can also be achieved, but there will be certain signal losses in long-distance transmission.

　　Frequency range: CAT6 U/UTP supports a frequency range of up to 250MHz, which is 50MHz higher than Category 5 network cables, providing higher stability during high-speed data transmission.

　　IV. Application scenarios

　　CAT6 U/UTP network cable is widely used in home, small office, enterprise network, campus network, data center and other scenarios to meet the needs of high-speed data transmission and Internet connection.

　　In summary, the CAT6 U/UTP network cable is a six-type unshielded twisted pair with high performance, high stability and strong compatibility, and is an indispensable part of modern network construction.
