CAT6 Semi-Finished Cores
23 AWG Cores To 250 MHz In UTP FTP And S FTP
Overview
CAT6 Semi-Finished Cores At A Glance
CAT6 cores step up to 23 AWG solid bare copper at 0.57 mm and are specified to 250 MHz under TIA/EIA-568.2-D and ISO/IEC 11801 Class E. NEXT of 55 dB or better and attenuation of 20.9 dB per 100 m are held across all three constructions, with the difference being how much shielding sits around the pairs.
Problems It Solves
What This Category Is Actually For
- CAT6 margin disappears in bundled runs without proper pair geometry.
- PoE and PoE+ loads make shielding a practical question, not a theoretical one.
- Jacket compound choice decides the fire classification of the finished cable.
Who Buys It
- Structured cabling manufacturers
- OEM brands supplying commercial projects
- Producers of CPR-classified European cable
Core Advantages
Why This Category Is Specified

UTP, FTP and S/FTP with the same electrical targets.
Optional Cross-Web Spline
PE central spline available to raise NEXT margin.
Conductor Tolerance to 0.01 mm
Tight conductor tolerance keeps drum-to-drum performance consistent.
Foil From 25 to 50 μm
Shielding thickness specified rather than assumed.
FAQ
CAT6 Semi-Finished Cores Questions
What conductor size is CAT6?
Solid bare copper, 23 AWG at 0.57 mm nominal, to IEC 60228 Class 1.
What is the bandwidth?
250 MHz, supporting 1 Gigabit Ethernet under TIA/EIA-568.2-D and ISO/IEC 11801 Class E.
Which construction should I choose for industrial sites?
S/FTP, which has foil on each pair plus an overall tinned copper braid at 60 to 80 percent coverage.
Is the spline standard?
It is optional. The PE cross-web improves NEXT performance and is specified per order.
