Why Choose Our Ethernet Cables?

Our LAN Cables undergo rigorous testing to ensure data integrity and superior performance. Designed to meet and exceed industry standards, they minimize data loss and provide stable connections. Available in 1000ft spools, our cables are easy to install, color-coded for efficient organization, and suited for various environments.

Cat5e Ethernet Cables: Affordable and Reliable

Cat5e Ethernet cables support data transfer speeds up to 1 Gbps over 100 meters with a bandwidth of 350 MHz. This network cable is perfect for everyday networking needs. With multiple options to choose from, it offers cost-effective solutions for both residential and light commercial applications.

Features of Cat5e Cables:

• Available in Cat5e Plenum 1000ft and Cat5e Riser 1000ft options.
• Constructed with bare copper for better performance and durability compared to CCA (Copper-Clad Aluminum).
• Designed to minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI) and crosstalk.
• Offered in multiple colors to simplify internet cable management.

For spaces with high EMI, opt for Cat5e Plenum Cable or Cat5e Riser Bulk cables for consistent performance.

Cat6 Ethernet Cables: High-Speed Performance

Cat6 Ethernet cables deliver data speeds up to 1 Gbps with a bandwidth of 550 MHz, making them ideal for demanding networks. Whether you’re installing them in a residential setting or a commercial enterprise, these cables ensure reliability and speed.

What Are the Transmission Requirements for Cat6 Ethernet Cables?

Cat6 Ethernet cables are designed to meet specific transmission standards to ensure optimal performance and data integrity. Here’s a breakdown of the essential requirements they must fulfill:

1. Insertion Loss: Also known as attenuation, this measures the loss of signal strength as it travels through the cable. Lower insertion loss is crucial for maintaining signal quality over longer distances.
2. Return Loss: This metric evaluates how well the cable impedes the return of the signal back toward the source. Higher return loss values are preferred as they indicate a better cable design that minimizes reflections, thus ensuring clearer data transmission.
3. NEXT (Near-End Crosstalk) Loss: Loss: Crosstalk occurs when the signal from one twisted pair interferes with another. Cat6 cables are engineered to minimize this interference at the point of signal entry, reducing NEXT loss and increasing data integrity.
4. ACRF (Attenuation to Crosstalk Ratio, Far-end): This requirement measures the ability of a cable to resist crosstalk from other cables, especially noticeable at the far end of the cable. A higher ACRF rate means better protection against interference at longer distances.
5. PS NEXT (Power Sum Near-End Crosstalk): Unlike individual pair crosstalk, PS NEXT considers the cumulative effect of crosstalk from all pairs at a connection point. High PS NEXT values suggest superior performance in environments with multiple cable runs.
6. PS ACRF (Power Sum Attenuation to Crosstalk Ratio, Far-end): This combines power sum crosstalk measurements with the attenuation metrics to provide a comprehensive view of a cable’s resistance to interference. High PS ACRF values ensure minimal disturbance across multiple runs.

By adhering to these requirements, Cat6 cables ensure reliable, fast connections suitable for various networking needs. For detailed specifications, consulting the manufacturer's documentation or technical descriptions can provide further insights.

Benefits of Cat6 Cables:

• Available as Cat6 Riser Cable 1000ft and Cat6 Plenum 1000ft.
• Built with 23 AWG bare copper conductors.
• Available in Plenum and Riser configurations. Plenum is a high-end jacket designed to prevent flame propagation and toxic smoke. The Riser is for vertically rising spaces.
• Designed to reduce EMI with tightly twisted pairs and a spline between them.
• Our Bare Copper 1000ft Cat 6 Ethernet Cable range can be used for Power Over Ethernet (PoE) applications up to IEEE 802.3bt standards. 

Choose Cat6 Plenum Cable  for air-handling environments or Cat6 Riser Copper ETL Listed cables for riser installations to ensure safety and compliance.

What Are the Industry Standards for Cat6 Cable Performance?

When it comes to Cat6 cable performance, the industry standards are defined by the Telecommunication Industries Association (TIA). These standards ensure that both manufacturers and consumers know exactly what to expect from this category of cabling.

Key Performance Metrics:

• Maximum Speed: Cat6 cables are designed to support data transfer speeds of up to 1 Gigabit per second (Gbps). Operating Frequency: These cables operate at a frequency of 550 MHz, providing a reliable and efficient signal transmission.
• Benefits of Standardization: By adhering to these guidelines, the TIA ensures that all Cat6 cables deliver consistent performance. This uniformity simplifies the buying process, making it easy for consumers to choose the right cable for their networking needs. Moreover, manufacturers can develop cables that meet this criteria, improving compatibility and user satisfaction across the board.

Cat6a Ethernet Cables: Superior Speed and Bandwidth

For advanced networking setups, Cat6a Ethernet cables offer lightning-fast speeds of up to 10 Gbps over 100 meters and a bandwidth of 750 MHz. These cables are indispensable for data centers, high-performance servers, and Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications.

Key Highlights of Cat6a Cables:

• Available as Cat6a Plenum 1000ft and Bulk Cat6a Riser 1000ft.
• Constructed with tightly twisted 23 AWG bare copper conductors for minimal crosstalk.
• Offered in shielded and unshielded variants to handle varying levels of EMI, Crosstalk, and other types of signal interference.
• Tested rigorously to exceed industry standards, ensuring long-lasting performance.
• Compatible with PoE/+/++ IEEE 802.3bt.

For environments with heavy interference, choose Cat6a Riser Solid Copper or shielded cables for optimal results.

Choosing the Right Ethernet Cable for Your Needs

Understanding the difference between plenum and riser jackets is essential. Cat5e Plenum and Cat6 Plenum Cables are ideal for air-handling spaces due to their fire-resistant properties. Cat5e Riser Cable and Cat6 Riser Cable are designed for vertical installations in enclosed spaces. Similarly, you can use the Plenum-rated Cat6a cable for air-handling spaces and HVAC ducts. And its riser variant for vertical runs such as floor-to-floor.
