Serveredge | Cat6 U/UTP Network Cable 24AWG 4 Pair 305m | Blue Solid Bare Copper
The Serveredge C6UTSLE305-BU is a Category 6 U/UTP network cable with four solid bare copper pairs, supplied in a 305 m reel in a box. The C6UTSLE305-BU runs 24AWG conductors under high density polyethylene insulation and an FR PVC jacket. It is specified against ISO/IEC 11801 Ed. 2.2 Class E, IEC 61156-5:2009 and ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 for Category 6.
One box covers a lot of ground, and the figure that matters mid-job is how much is left on it. The C6UTSLE305-BU has sequential metre markings printed down the jacket, so the remaining length comes straight off the cable. Each box holds 305 metres and ships as a reel in a box, a 39 cm square carton 21.5 cm deep.
A nylon ripcord under the jacket opens the sheath at the termination, and a central nylon spine keeps the four pairs apart. Serveredge backs the C6UTSLE305-BU with a two year standalone warranty, stretching to 25 years as part of a certified structured cabling system. The published performance figures run to 250 MHz and are quoted against a Fluke permanent link test.
Features
- Solid bare copper — all eight conductors are solid bare copper right through the roll.
- 24AWG conductors — each conductor measures 0.515 mm, which puts the cable at 24AWG solid.
- Four twisted pairs — four pairs twisted together and colour coded blue, orange, green and brown, each paired with white.
- Central nylon spine — a spine down the middle of the C6UTSLE305-BU holds the four pairs apart along the whole run.
- Nylon ripcord — a ripcord sits under the jacket so the sheath opens cleanly at the termination.
- FR PVC jacket — a flame retardant PVC sheath, 5.5 mm across with a half millimetre tolerance either way.
- Metre markings on the jacket — the length is printed down the cable, so what is left on the box is readable at a glance.
- Tested to 250 MHz — crosstalk, return loss and attenuation are published right out to 250 MHz.
- 1000BASE-T support — the C6UTSLE305-BU carries gigabit Ethernet applications all the way up to 1000BASE-T.
- IEC 60332-1 flammability — the PVC sheath meets the combustion performance set out in IEC 60332-1.
- Installation temperature — Serveredge rates the C6UTSLE305-BU for installation between 0 and 50 degrees C.
- 305 metres a box — each box holds 305 metres of cable, with 1.5 metres of tolerance either way.
Where to use
- Structured cabling jobs — the C6UTSLE305-BU is specified against ANSI/TIA-568-C.2, so it drops into a Category 6 system spec.
- Gigabit to the desk — 1000BASE-T support covers links out to workstations, access points and fixed gear.
- Network upgrades — it handles anything built for Category 6 or lower rated systems, so older gear on the run still works.
- Colour coded runs — the blue jacket picks the data out where power, comms and security share a tray.
- Certified cabling systems — put in as part of a certified structured cabling system, the C6UTSLE305-BU picks up a 25 year warranty.
- Voice, data and video — Serveredge lists the solid Category 6 build for bandwidth intensive voice, data and video distribution.
The C6UTSLE305-BU is unshielded U/UTP, so it will not satisfy a spec that calls for screened or foiled Category 6. The jacket is FR PVC, not a low smoke zero halogen compound. Serveredge rates installation from 0 to 50 degrees C, so a sub-zero pull sits outside spec.
