*To designate a color, add suffix BU (Blue),
WH (White), YL (Yellow), IG (International Gray),
BL (Black), RD (Red), GR (Green), OR (Orange),
or VL (Violet).
**To designate color, add suffix IW (Off White),
EI (Electric Ivory), IG (International Gray),
WH (White), BL (Black), OR (Orange),
RD (Red), BU (Blue), GR (Green),
YL (Yellow), or VL (Violet).
***For lengths 1 to 20 feet (increments of one
foot) and 25, 30, 35, 40 feet, change the length
designation in part number to the desired
length. For standard cable colors other than
Off White, add suffix BL (Black), BU (Blue),
GR (Green), RD (Red), YL (Yellow),
OR (Orange), or VL (Violet) before Y at the
end of the part number. For example, the
part number for a blue, 15-foot patch cord
is UTPSP15BUY.
^For lengths 1 to 10 meters (increments of one
meter) and 0.5, 1.5, 2.5, 15, 20 meters, change
the length designation in the part number to
the desired length. For standard cable colors
other than Off White, add suffix BL (Black),
BU (Blue), RD (Red), YL (Yellow), GR (Green),
OR (Orange), or VL (Violet) before Y at the
end of the part number. For example, the
part number for a blue, 5-meter patch cord
is UTPSP5MBUY.
specifications
Category 6 cable shall exceed ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 and IEC
61156-5 Category 6 component standards. The conductors
shall be 23 AWG construction with FEP (CMP) or polyolefin
(CMR) insulation. The copper conductors shall be twisted
in pairs, separated by a cross-divider and covered by a low
smoke, flame-retardant (CMP) jacket or a
flame-retardant (CMR) jacket.
