Category 6 UTP Cable Cut Sheet

X-1427254-X

Description
AMP NETCONNECT Category 6 cables exceed TIA/EIA-568-B.2-1 Category 6 and ISO/IEC 11801 Class E performance requirements by
significant margins on all parameters. The AMP NETCONNECT Category 6 System complies with all of the performance requirements for
current and proposed applications such as Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-TX), 10/100BASE-TX, token ring, 155 Mbps ATM, 100 Mbps TP-
PMD, ISDN, analog and digital video and analog and digital voice (VoIP).

AMP NETCONNECT Category 6 UTP cables are available in CM, with standard colors including white, gray, and blue. Packaging is in a
reel-in-box, with standard put-ups being 1000ft splice-free lengths.

Specification (text in brackets [ ] requires a choice)


Horizontal cabling shall be 23 AWG, 4-pair UTP, UL NEC/NFPA CM rated and be independently verified for compliance. Cable jacketing
shall be [white, gray or blue] PVC. Cable shall exceed all TIA/EIA and ISO Category 6/Class E requirements as well as meet the
performance requirements listed in the following table: [include Performance Characteristics tables from page 2].

Cable performance shall be independently verified and characterized to 600 MHz. Cable shall be supplied in a reel-in-box. Independent
verification for flammability compliance shall be to NEC article 800 and NFPA 70; CMR (ANSI/UL 1666, IEC 332-1). Horizontal cable shall be
