Cat.6 UTP Network Cable

HIPHOTONICS Cat.6 UTP Network Cable is a high-performance unshielded twisted-pair copper cable designed for structured cabling systems, enterprise networks, data centers, IP surveillance, and other Ethernet applications.

Operating up to 250 MHz, Cat.6 UTP cabling is designed for reliable Gigabit Ethernet transmission and can also support higher-speed applications depending on the cable construction, channel length, and overall system configuration. Standard Cat.6 constructions commonly use four twisted pairs and are specified under ANSI/TIA-568.2-D and ISO/IEC 11801 requirements.

HIPHOTONICS offers a range of Cat.6 UTP cable configurations to meet different installation, performance, environmental, and cost requirements.

Actual available specifications can be customized according to project requirements.


1. Cat.6 UTP 23AWG Solid Copper Cable

The 23AWG Cat.6 UTP Solid Copper Cable is designed for permanent structured cabling installations where stable electrical performance and mechanical strength are required.

The larger conductor provides low DC resistance and is suitable for longer horizontal cable runs and high-performance network infrastructure.

Typical applications:

  • Structured cabling
  • Data centers
  • Telecommunications rooms
  • Enterprise networks
  • Server rooms
  • PoE network infrastructure

A typical 23AWG Cat.6 UTP construction uses four pairs of solid bare copper conductors and can be manufactured with PVC or LSZH jackets.

2. Cat.6 UTP 24AWG Solid Copper Cable

The 24AWG Cat.6 UTP Solid Copper Cable provides a balance between transmission performance, installation flexibility, and overall cable size.

It is one of the commonly used configurations for Cat.6 structured cabling. Typical commercial products use 24AWG solid copper conductors, 250 MHz bandwidth, and 305 m reel-in-box packaging.

Recommended for:

  • Enterprise LAN
  • Office networks
  • Commercial buildings
  • Network cabinets
  • Patch panels
  • Gigabit Ethernet
  • PoE applications

3. Cat.6 UTP 24AWG Stranded Cable

The 24AWG Stranded Cat.6 UTP Cable is designed for applications requiring greater flexibility than solid-conductor horizontal cable.

The stranded construction makes the cable easier to bend and route, making it particularly suitable for equipment connections and flexible network cabling.

Typical applications:

  • Network equipment connections
  • Patch cable assemblies
  • Network cabinets
  • Server rooms
  • Short-distance Ethernet connections

4. Cat.6 UTP 26AWG Cable

The 26AWG Cat.6 UTP Cable provides a smaller cable profile while maintaining Cat.6 network performance requirements according to the selected construction.

Its reduced diameter can simplify cable routing and improve cable management in installations where space is limited.

Typical applications:

  • Enterprise networks
  • Network cabinets
  • High-density patching
  • Equipment rooms
  • Short-distance connections

5. Cat.6 UTP 28AWG Slim Cable

The 28AWG Cat.6 UTP Slim Cable is designed for high-density network environments where conventional cable diameter may create cable congestion.

Its smaller profile provides improved flexibility and easier cable management around switches, patch panels, and other network equipment.

Advantages include:

  • Smaller cable diameter
  • Improved flexibility
  • Easier installation
  • Better cable organization
  • Reduced congestion in high-density racks

6. Cat.6 UTP 30/32AWG Slim Cable

The 30/32AWG Cat.6 UTP Slim Cable is designed for short-distance and high-density equipment connections.

The slim construction requires less space and can make it easier to manage large numbers of connections inside network cabinets and data centers.

For example, commercial Cat.6 slim patch cables are available in 30AWG constructions with U/UTP shielding and 250 MHz performance.

Typical applications:

  • High-density network racks
  • Server-to-switch connections
  • Patch panel connections
  • Data center equipment
  • Short-distance network connections

PVC or LSZH Jacket Options

HIPHOTONICS Cat.6 UTP cables can be supplied with different jacket materials according to the application environment.

PVC Jacket

PVC is a cost-effective solution for general indoor network installations and is widely used in commercial and residential structured cabling.

LSZH Jacket

LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) cable is designed for environments where reduced smoke and halogen emissions are required, such as commercial buildings, public facilities, transportation infrastructure, and data centers.

Depending on the required construction, cables can also be specified with different flame-retardant ratings.


High-Performance Cat.6 Transmission

Cat.6 UTP cable is typically designed for operation up to 250 MHz and supports 1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet applications.

Depending on the specific cable design and complete channel configuration, Cat.6 cabling may also support higher-speed Ethernet applications over limited distances. Therefore, the final network performance should be evaluated based on the complete cabling system rather than the cable alone.

Typical Applications

HIPHOTONICS Cat.6 UTP Network Cable is suitable for:

  • Gigabit Ethernet networks
  • Enterprise LAN
  • Structured cabling systems
  • Data centers
  • Server rooms
  • IP surveillance
  • Access control systems
  • PoE / PoE+ networks
  • Network cabinets
  • Telecommunications rooms
  • Residential broadband networks

Cat.6 UTP cables are commonly used for 1000BASE-T and PoE applications, with some constructions designed to meet relevant IEEE PoE requirements.
