DAD LINK U/UTP Cat.6 Network Cable – 305 m of 23 AWG solid bare copper, unshielded, with a cross-filler separator holding the four pairs apart and an LSZH sheath.
The default choice for ordinary indoor structured cabling: offices, classrooms, hotels, retail, and residential. With no screen to bond, it is the fastest to terminate and the easiest to route — at 6.2 mm outside diameter it is the slimmest cable in the Cat.6 range, so more runs fit a given conduit or tray. The internal separator maintains pair geometry, which is what holds NEXT in spec at 250 MHz without shielding. LSZH sheath for occupied indoor spaces.
Choose a screened cable instead if the route runs alongside mains power, or through a plant room, factory floor, or other high-interference area.

For interference-prone routes, step up to F/UTP Cat.6 or SF/UTP Cat.6. For 10 Gbps, use S/FTP Cat.6A. For outdoor runs, see SF/UTP Cat.6 Outdoor. Guide: Cat6 vs Cat6A: Which Cable to Choose.
