UTP patch cable of category 6. Halogen-free, flame-retardant jacket. Wires made of 100% copper. Gold-plated connectors with strain relief. The wires made of 100% copper are unshielded, and the cable features strain relief. The jacket is made from halogen-free materials and is highly flame-retardant.

The UTP cable consists of a plastic jacket that houses the unshielded, twisted pairs. Due to the lack of shielding, UTP cables have a small outer diameter, making them easy to handle and install. The strain relief sleeves in a particularly narrow design allow for comfortable cabling even with larger switches with 48 ports or more.

Unlike conventional PVC cables, these cables are halogen-free: the dangerous release of halogen-containing combustion gases is thus excluded, and smoke generation is minimized. Halogen-free cables are also flame-retardant and do not exhibit a dangerous ignition cord effect.

UTP - Unscreened/Unshielded Twisted-Pair cables. UTP cables consist of a plastic jacket that contains the unshielded, twisted pairs. Due to the lack of shielding, UTP cables have a small outer diameter and are easy to handle and install. These are the most commonly used cables for Ethernet LANs worldwide.

Category 6/6a/6e. Cat 6 cables are designed for operating frequencies up to 250 MHz and are often used in professional settings. At longer lengths, transmission speed may suffer; however, short overlengths are generally acceptable depending on external influences. Application areas for Cat 6 include voice and data transmission as well as multimedia and ATM networks.
