UTP patch cable of category 6 with halogen-free, flame-retardant sheath. The conductors are made of 100% copper and are unshielded. The cable features bend protection. The halogen-free sheath is highly flame-retardant.

The UTP cable consists of a plastic sheath that contains the unshielded, twisted pairs of wires. Due to the lack of shielding, UTP cables have a small outer diameter, making them easy to handle and install. The bend protection sleeves in a particularly narrow design allow for comfortable cabling, even with larger switches with 48 ports and more.

Unlike conventional PVC cables, these cables are halogen-free, which eliminates the dangerous release of halogenated combustion gases and minimizes smoke generation. Halogen-free cables are flame-retardant and do not exhibit a dangerous ignition cord effect.

UTP cables are the most widely used cables for Ethernet LANs worldwide. Cat 6 cables are designed for operating frequencies up to 250 MHz and are frequently used in professional environments. For longer lengths, transmission speed may be affected; however, slight excess lengths are generally unproblematic depending on external influences. Application areas for Cat 6 include voice and data transmission as well as multimedia and ATM networks.
