Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between CMP and PVC cable jackets?
CMP (Plenum) jackets are designed for use in air-handling spaces within commercial buildings, offering superior fire resistance and low smoke production. PVC jackets are for general-purpose use outside plenum spaces.
Can this Cat6 cable support 10 Gigabit Ethernet?
While primarily designed for Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T), Cat6 cable can support 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GBASE-T) over shorter distances, typically up to 55 meters, depending on the network environment.
Is this cable suitable for outdoor installations?
No, this cable has a PVC jacket and is designed for indoor use. Outdoor installations require cables with specific UV and moisture-resistant jackets.
What type of connectors should be used with this bulk cable?
This bulk cable requires RJ45 connectors or keystone jacks designed for Cat6 solid-conductor cable, which are typically terminated using a punch-down tool.
