Cat6 ethernet cable diameter.

The cable standard specifies performance of up to 250 mhz compared to 100 mhz for cat 5 and cat 5e. Cat6a utp cable design differs among manufacturers. Commercial electric 3 ft. A 23awg cable is 0 57mm wide while a 24awg cable is 0 52mm wide.

The a stands for augmented and is a nod to cat6a s improved specifications compared with its predecessor the category 6 or cat6 cable. The cat6a doubles data transmission bandwidth from 250 to 500 mhz. Cat 6 supports 10 gigabit ethernet only up to 164 feet of cable length. Decreases the chance of crosstalk interference.

The cost is about 20 35 higher than cat6 but the maximum cable length is 100 meters across all systems and conditions for gigabit ethernet. Notice the lower the gauge the higher the thickness. The outside diameter of cat6a f utp can be as large as 0 354 compared to 0 265 0 30 for cat6a f utp and 0 21 9 24 for cat6. That speed comes with a price however as cat 6 cables are more expensive than cat 5 and cat 5e variants.

Cat 6 cables technically support speeds up to 10gbps but only do so for up to 55 meters. And provides superior reliability and transmission. 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. It s theoretical top speed is 10 gbps over 100 meters.
