Wirewin UTP patch cables are characterized by their high quality and are suitable for Gigabit connections with operating frequencies of up to 250 MHz. Applications for Category 6 cables include voice, multimedia, and data transmission, as well as ATM networks. The wires are made of 100% unshielded copper, and the cable features strain relief. The outer jacket is halogen-free and 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 strain relief sleeves, designed to be particularly slim, allow for comfortable cabling even with larger switches that have 48 ports or more.
