At GETDSI, we are dedicated to delivering high-quality low-voltage cabling solutions that meet and exceed industry standards. Our commitment to excellence ensures that your network infrastructure is reliable, efficient, and future-proofed. Below are our minimum quality requirements specifically for CAT6 cabling.
Quality Requirements for CAT6 Cabling
- Cable Type:
- All cables must be solid copper CAT6. We do not accept copper-clad aluminum (CCA) cables, which can compromise performance and reliability.
- Cable Rating:
- Cables must be rated for a bandwidth of 400-500 MHz to support high-speed data transmission and ensure optimal network performance.
- Plenum and Riser Ratings:
- Use plenum-rated CAT6 cables for installations in air-handling spaces. This minimizes fire hazards and smoke production.
- Use riser-rated CAT6 cables for vertical runs between floors to comply with safety standards.
- Installation Practices:
- All installations must adhere to industry standards regarding bend radius and cable separation to prevent interference and ensure longevity.
- Proper labeling and documentation of all cables and connections are mandatory for easy maintenance and troubleshooting.
- Testing and Certification:
- All installations will undergo thorough testing to verify compliance with specified performance standards, including Verification, Qualification, and Certification upon request.
- Wire Gauge:
- We utilize 23 AWG wire gauge for optimal signal strength and reliability.
