Is this cable compatible with older network equipment?
Yes, this Cat6 cable is backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat5 equipment. While it's optimized for Cat6 networks, it will work with older network infrastructure while providing the option to upgrade to higher speeds in the future. The cable meets TIA/EIA-568-B.2 and ISO/IEC 11801 standards for universal compatibility.
What is the maximum data transfer speed for this Cat6 cable?
As a Category 6 (Cat6) cable, it supports data transfer speeds up to 1 Gigabit per second (Gbps) at 100 meters and 10 Gbps at shorter distances up to 55 meters. The cable's copper conductors and advanced construction ensure optimal signal integrity and minimal crosstalk for reliable high-speed data transmission.
What does TAA compliant mean for this network cable?
TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliance means this cable is manufactured in the United States in accordance with federal government procurement requirements. This certification makes it suitable for use in government facilities and other installations where TAA compliance is mandatory. It's particularly important for government contractors and agencies.
