Unlock Extended Reach with Category 6 & 6A Cabling!

Are you ready to elevate your network performance? Discover how Panduit’s groundbreaking research on Category 6 and 6A cabling can help you achieve reliable 1000BASE-T Ethernet communication at extended lengths.

With significant advancements in insertion loss, NEXT, and SNR, Category 6 and 6A cabling offers a substantial upgrade over Category 5, enhancing data transmission and network efficiency. Rigorous testing has validated that a 150-meter channel, including 140 meters of 22 AWG Category 6 cable and 10 meters of 24 AWG patch cords, delivers zero throughput degradation and no frame loss, while also supporting Power over Ethernet (PoE) standards. Don't be misled by claims of unreliable 200-meter links—trust in proven solutions that ensure your network meets the highest performance standards.
