The "Lw Cat6 UTP Outdoor 305mtr Cable" is a Cat6 unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable designed for outdoor use. It features a 305-meter (1000ft) length, solid copper conductors, and a polyethylene (PE) jacket for weather resistance. The cable is typically used for network installations where durability and protection from the elements are needed.
Here's a more detailed breakdown of the specifications:
General Specifications:
Cable Type: Cat6 UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair).
Length: 305 meters (1000 feet).
Conductor Material: Solid copper (or copper clad aluminum in some cases).
Conductor Size: 23AWG (American Wire Gauge).
Number of Pairs: 4 twisted pairs.
Outer Jacket: Typically PE (Polyethylene) for weather resistance.
Jacket Color: Often black, but can be blue, grey, violet, or orange.
Other Features: May include a jelly filling compound or water-block tape to further protect against moisture.
Key Features & Benefits:
High Speed Transmission: Supports data transfer speeds up to 10 Gbps (Gigabits per second) at 250 MHz, suitable for various network applications.
Outdoor Rated: The PE jacket and other features provide protection against sunlight, rain, and other outdoor elements.
Durability: Designed for long-term use in outdoor environments.
Compatibility: Complies with TIA/EIA 568 Cat6 standards.
Versatility: Suitable for various applications like smart homes, school networks, enterprise networks, and data centers.
Important Considerations:
Maximum Cable Segment Distance:
While Cat6 supports 10 Gbps, the maximum distance for a cable segment drops to 55 meters when using 10GBASE-T.
