NETWORK CABLES
NETWORK CABLES
Gepco Category 6 and 6+ cables feature extended band-
widths and precision tolerances to meet or exceed the
latest TIA/EIA and ISO standards. Designed to deliv-
er reliability in leading-edge networking, data, and
video applications, every reel is ETL verified to
ensure consistent performance. Available in
both plenum and riser constructions, Gepco
Category 6 and 6+ cables can be installed
in a variety of applications and environ-
ments.
