Construction & Configuration
A straightforward unshielded Cat 6 construction using four twisted pairs, HDPE insulation, an internal separator and configurable outer jacket.
Bare Solid Copper Conductor
Bare solid copper conductors form the electrical transmission path within each twisted pair.
HDPE Insulation
Individual conductors are insulated with HDPE before being formed into balanced twisted pairs.
Four Twisted Pairs
Four standard color-coded twisted pairs form the Category 6 transmission core.
Internal Separator
The separator helps organize the twisted pairs and maintain the intended internal cable geometry.
Ripcord
An internal ripcord supports controlled removal of the outer jacket during installation.
