| - | **Category 6 (Cat-6)** [[ddsf:public:guidebook:06_append:glossary:n:netcabling|network cabling]] is used as the cabling infrastructure for 10BASE-T ([[ddsf:public:guidebook:06_append:glossary:e:ethernet|Ethernet]]), 100BASE-TX (Fast Ethernet), 1000BASE-T (Gigabit Ethernet, or GbE) and 10GBASE-T (10-Gigabit Ethernet, or 10 GbE) networks. The Cat 6 standard provides [[ddsf:private:guidebook:06_append:glossary:p:performance|performance]] of up to 250 MHz (500 MHz for the newer Cat 6a standard) and can be used up to a maximum length of 100 meters (55 meters for 10GBASE-T networks). | + | **Category 6 (Cat-6)** [[ddsf:public:guidebook:06_append:glossary:n:netcabling|network cabling]] is used as the cabling infrastructure for 10BASE-T ([[ddsf:public:guidebook:06_append:glossary:e:ethernet|Ethernet]]), 100BASE-TX (Fast Ethernet), 1000BASE-T (Gigabit Ethernet, or GbE) and 10GBASE-T (10-Gigabit Ethernet, or 10 GbE) networks.

| The Cat 6 standard was first released in 2002 as part of the Telecommunications Industry Association’s TIA/EIA-568-B.2-1 document specification. Cat 6 is backward compatible with the Cat 3, Cat 5 and Cat 5e cable standards, and as with Cat 5 and Cat 5e cabling, Cat 6 cables consist of four unshielded twisted pairs (UTP) of copper wire terminated by RJ45 connectors. | The Cat 6 standard was first released in 2002 as part of the Telecommunications Industry Association’s TIA/EIA-568-B.2-1 document specification.
