Customers frequently mention the impressive cable length, which is ideal for those requiring an extended reach for their setups. Additionally, users are pleased with the build quality, noting that the ethernet connector feels particularly sturdy and reliable.
Underwriters Laboratories (UL) is an organization that has established safety standards for electrical devices and components for over a century.
The foremost advantage of a CAT6 (or Category6) ethernet cable is its transfer speed capabilities. CAT6 cables are able to transfer up to 10 Gbps (gigabytes per second).* This is a drastic improvement over CAT5e cables, which can handle up to 1 Gbps.
So the transfer rates are more than two times faster with a CAT6 cable.
Another advantage of CAT6 cables is their ability to reduce the impact of "crosstalk" (interference from other nearby cables that disrupt the normal flow of data within a cable).
The cable jacket of this CAT6 ethernet cable has passed a vertical burn test to certify that flames will not travel down the cable. Based on UL Cable specifications for CMR, the fire resistance should be limited to a height of eight feet based on the "vertical tray flame test."
