Q:Why do I need all the bandwidth of CAT6 cables? As far as I know, there
is no application today that requires 200 MHz of bandwidth.
A:CAT6 cabling products includes the following : UTP CAT6 cable bulk,
FTP CAT6 cable bulk and SFTP CAT6 cable bulk. All these three different
types of CAT6 cables only have 4 pair construction.
Bandwidth precedes data rates just as highways come before traffic. Doubling
the bandwidth is like adding twice the number of lanes on a highway. The
trends of the past and the predictions for the future indicate that data
rates have been doubling every 18 months. Current applications running
at 1 Gb/s are really pushing the limits of CAT5e cables. As streaming
media applications such as video and multi-media become commonplace,the
demands for faster data rates will increase and spawn new applications
that will benefit from the higher bandwidth offered by CAT6 cables. CAT6
cables repeats exactly what happened in the early 90¡¯s when
the higher bandwidth of CAT5 cabling compared to CAT3 caused most LAN
applications to choose the better media to allow simpler, cost effective,
higher speed LAN applications, such as 100BASE-TX. Note: Bandwidth of
CAT6 cables is defined as the highest frequency up to which positive power
sum ACR (Attenuation to Crosstalk Ratio) is greater than zero.
Cat6 cables are ideal for networking applications where high bandwidth
is required. For detailed product description for CAT6 Cables, please
