     PRODUCTS / PRO-AUDIO, VIDEO & DATA CABLE / NETWORK CABLE / Category 6 Cable		  
     
  Category 6 Cable  
         
   
  Gepco category 6 cables feature designs that meet or exceed the latest TIA/EIA standards, thereby providing reliable interconnect solutions for the latest high speed protocols and formats. Each cable is designed to meet specific criteria for PSNEXT, PSARC, and RL (among others) up to 250MHz or 450MHz bandwidths. Each reel is ETL verified to ensure consistent quality and performance to meet all TIA specifications. Unique to the category 6 is a thermoplastic pair separator that improves both PSUM and ELFEXT performance. Each cable type is UL rated and available in plenum or riser constructions to enable installation in a variety of locations.
