Figure6-2.
• Plenumratedcablemustbeusedwhereveritisrequiredbylocalelectricalcodes.
• TheminimumCat6AcablewiresizerequiredforusewithUAPsis23AWG(minimumEIA/TIA
standards).
• 24AWGistheminimumwiresizeallowedforshortCat6Apatchcablesorjumpers.
• ThemaximumCAT6AcablelengthbetweenaUAPandaCAN/TENis100metersincludingallcables,
