The N222-01K-BK Cat6 Gigabit Bulk Solid-Core PVC Cable is premium high-speed cabling designed for Cat6 premise applications, such as the distribution of data, voice and digital video across Gigabit Ethernet networks. Designed for fast transmission and excellent signal quality, this black cable ensures peak performance through your LAN (local area network).Manufactured from 23 AWG copper wire, the four-pair solid UTP N222-01K-BK delivers speeds up to 550 MHz/1 Gbps. Protected by a CMR-rated PVC jacket, this cable drastically reduces impedance and structural return loss as compared to standard 100 MHz wire. Near-end crosstalk levels are kept to a minimum, making the N222-01K-BK ideal for 10/100/1000 Base-T Ethernet, 100 Mbps TPDDI, 155 Mbps ATM, ISDN, voice, EIA/TIA and Token Ring Type 3 applications.The N222-01K-BK meets most current industry standards, including IEEE 802.3ab, IEEE 802.5, ANSI/EIA/TIA 568, ISO/IEC 11801 and ETL (category 6, draft 11).
