A Lightwave Cat6 UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) cable is a network cable designed for high-speed data transmission. It features 4 pairs of 23 AWG solid bare copper conductors, enclosed in a double-sheath (PVC inner and UV-resistant PVC outer) for durability and protection. The cable also includes a PE central separator to minimize crosstalk. Lightwave Cat6 UTP cables are commonly used for Gigabit Ethernet networks and can support data transfer rates up to 1 Gbps over long distances.
