Detailed explanation-1: -Cat6 cabling support up to 10 Gbps and frequencies of up to 250 MHz.
Detailed explanation-2: -Category 6 cable is currently the fastest standard for UTP.
Detailed explanation-3: -Cat 6 Speed (Up to 10 Gbps Max.) Cat 6 supports data transfer speeds up to 10 Gbps at 250 MHz with even less (or no) crosstalk interference, due to the cable’s improved insulation. However, its 10 Gbps speed is effective only up to 164 feet.
Detailed explanation-4: -Cat 6, an unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) design, emerged as an advancement of the UTP Cat 5e, and was formalised in 2001. The design of Cat 6 required more stringent precision in manufacturing, and this enabled reduced noise and crosstalk, allowing improved performance.
Detailed explanation-5: -CAT6A U/UTP means the cable consists of 4 unshielded twisted pairs and no outer shielding. CAT6A F/UTP means the cable consists of 4 unshielded twisted pairs however it contains an outer foil shield. This is a shielded cable.
