OVERVIEW
Quest Cat6 UTP 550MHz cable is designed for indoor high speed Gigabit data and voice applications. It is constructed of 4-pairs of 23 AWG unshielded twisted pair copper wires with a flexible High-Density Polyethelene divider which isolates the pairs for minimal cross-talk. It comes standard in an easy pull REELEX2 box, and is available in Gray, Blue and White.
