The ProLink CAT6 U/UTP PVC Cable (Model: PL-C6-PVC-W) is a professional structured cabling solution designed for campus, riser, and horizontal network deployments. Housed in a durable white PVC jacket, the cable features four pairs of AWG23 solid copper wire separated by a non-metallic cross separator (spline) designed to reduce pair-to-pair crosstalk. Unlike standard indoor cables, this ProLink model is filled with a specialized compound to prevent water penetration, helping maintain electrical performance even in continuous wet conditions.
It fully complies with ISO/IEC 11801 and EN 50288-6-1 standards, supporting Gigabit Ethernet applications as well as IEEE 802.3af (PoE) and IEEE 802.3at (PoE+) deployments.
