A Cat 6 (Category 6) cable is a standardized twisted-pair Ethernet cable used for high-speed computer networks and data transmission.
Key Specifications & Performance
- Speed: Supports up to 1 Gbps (Gigabit Ethernet) at 100 meters, and up to 10 Gbps over shorter distances (up to 55 meters).
- Bandwidth: Operates at frequencies up to 250 MHz (higher than Cat 5e’s 100 MHz).
- Structure: Contains four twisted pairs of copper wires separated by a physical plastic spline/cross-web to reduce crosstalk and electromagnetic interference.
- Compatibility: Backward compatible with Cat 5, Cat 5e, and Cat 3 standards.

Types of Cat 6 Cables
- UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair): Lacks physical shielding; common and cost-effective for standard indoor home or office setups.
- FTP / STP (Shielded/Foiled): Includes foil or braided shielding to protect against high electromagnetic interference in industrial areas.
- Indoor vs. Outdoor: Indoor cables use standard PVC jackets, while outdoor variants feature weather-resistant, heavy-duty jackets (and often pure copper cores) to withstand moisture and sunlight.
- Copper Quality: Available in 100% pure solid copper (best for long runs and Power over Ethernet/PoE) or cheaper CCA (Copper-Clad Aluminium) which is less durable and suitable for shorter Runs, Non-Poe Applications
For best performance Always buy Pure copper Cat 6 cables that use 23 AWG solid pure copper conductors which ensures better conductivity, lower heat generation, and better power over Ethernet (PoE) support.
- Giganet: Known for quality FTP and UTP cables, widely available in Nairobi and recommended for both indoor and outdoor use.
- D-Link: A major international brand offering reliable Cat 6 and Cat 6A Ethernet cables in Kenya.
- Easenet, CP Cable, Hikvision): A commonly used brand providing a mix of CCA and full copper Cat 6 cables Options that meet ISO and EIA/TIA standards, suitable for high-speed networking, CCTV Installations, Voice and Video Networking and Much more
- Siemon: A premium brand available in Kenya, offering high-performance Cat 6A and Cat 6 cables with good shielding and performance.
