Lorex, CBL100C6RXU, 100 ft CAT6 Outdoor Extension Cable, Weather Shielded
Future-proof your installation with a UL Certified 100ft STP (Twisted Shielded Pair) CAT6 ethernet cable. This cable supports up to 10 gigabits (GB) per second transfer speeds, features wire shielding for less crosstalk, and is CMR Riser rated. It is also UV treated and waterproof for additional outdoor protection and can be directly buried without the need for a conduit.
UL Certified CAT6 Ethernet Cable
Underwriters Laboratories (UL) is an organization that has established safety standards for electrical devices and components for over a century. Currently, they evaluate more than 70 different wire and cable product categories across the world to establish safety and performance compliance.
Higher Frequency
The additional speed provided by CAT6 cables is mostly due to an increase in frequency. A cable's frequency is essentially the rate at which data can be sent through the wires. This is measured by the number of cycles per second (Hz or Hertz). A CAT5e ethernet cable, for example, has a frequency of 100 Mhz (megahertz). This means that it is capable of completing around 100 million cycles per second. In comparison, a CAT6 cable has a frequency of 250 Mhz, which is around 250 million cycles per second. So the transfer rates are more than two times faster with a CAT6 cable.
Less Cross-Talk
Another advantage of CAT6 cables is their ability to reduce the impact of "crosstalk" (interference from other nearby cables that disrupt the normal flow of data within a cable). This is done in many ways, including an aluminum foil wrap to prevent EMI (Electro-Magnetic Interference) and by using a tighter twisted cable design.
Fire-Resistant
The cable jacket of this CAT6 ethernet cable has passed a vertical burn test to certify that flames will not travel down the cable. Based on UL Cable specifications for CMR, the fire resistance should be limited to a height of eight feet based on the "vertical tray flame test." This is particularly important in preventing fire from quickly spreading between walls and floors.
