Times Microwave Bulk CAT Cables are for data, control or signal applications in outdoor or indoor environments. Their TCAT-6 cable features exceptional electrical characteristics and a tinned copper outer shield for optimal shielding and grounding. A ripcord is supplied for easy jacket stripping and the UV resistant black PE jacket offers weather resistance in all environments. This bulk cable does NOT include connectors.

TCAT-6 Direct Burial cable (TCAT-6-DB) offers the same outstanding electrical characteristics as TCAT-6; plus high coverage, water-blocked tinned copper outer shield. 

Category 6 cable, commonly referred to as CAT 6, is a twisted pair cable for Gigabit Ethernet and other network physical layers that is backward-compatible with the Category 5/5e and Category 3 cable standards.

Compared with CAT 5 and CAT 5e, CAT 6 cables feature a more-stringent specification for crosstalk and system noise. CAT 6 also provides operation to 250 MHz and is suitable for 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX (Fast Ethernet), 1000BASE-T/1000BASE-TX (Gigabit Ethernet), 2.5GBASE-T, 5GBASE-T, and 10GBASE-T (10-Gigabit Ethernet). CAT 5 and CAT 6 cables also find use for other control applications where rugged, shielded multi-conductor cable may be used.
