CAT6 UTP 1000FT OUTDOOR 23AWG Solid Direct Burial Wire Ethernet Network Cable

  
CCA - Copper Clad Aluminum. Conductor: 23 AWG Direct burial. Waterproof / Ultraviolet / Electromagnetic. All Network Ethernet Standards (CAT5, CAT5e, CAT6) Categories. Category 6 cable (Cat 6), is a standardized twisted pair cable for Ethernet and other network physical layers that is backward compatible with the Category 5/5e and Category 3 cable standards.

Cat 6 has to meet more stringent specifications for crosstalk and system noise than Cat 5 and Cat 5e. The cable standard specifies performance of up to 250 MHz, compared to 100 MHz for Cat 5 and Cat 5e. Whereas Category 6 cable has a reduced maximum length of 55 meters when used for 10GBASE-T, Category 6A cable is characterized to 500 MHz and has improved alien crosstalk characteristics, allowing 10GBASE-T to be run for the same 100 meter maximum distance as previous Ethernet variants.
