Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between F/UTP and U/FTP cables?
F/UTP (Foiled Unshielded Twisted Pair) cables have an overall foil shield around the four twisted pairs, offering extra protection against electromagnetic interference. U/FTP (Unshielded Foiled Twisted Pair) cables, on the other hand, have individual shielding around each pair, offering more targeted protection.
Can this cable be used in outdoor installations?
No, this cable is plenum-rated, which means it is designed for use in indoor air spaces like ducts and ceilings. For outdoor installations, you should consider a cable rated for outdoor use, such as an outdoor-rated Ethernet cable.
What is the maximum distance this cable supports for 1Gbps Ethernet?
This Category 6 F/UTP Shielded Solid Plenum CMP Cable supports up to 100 meters (328 feet) for Gigabit Ethernet (1Gbps). For higher speeds, such as 10Gbps, the maximum distance may be shorter, depending on the quality of the cable and the equipment used.
Is this cable compatible with all networking devices?
Yes, this cable is fully compatible with all networking devices that support Cat6 Ethernet, including routers, switches, and networked computers. It also meets the standards set by TIA-568-C.2 and ISO/IEC 11801 for quality networking installations.
