To designate the difference between Cat6 cables with and without a spline we kept the Cat6 cable without a spline as Cat6 and call Cat6 cable with a spline as Cat6e.

The most important thing in by doing this it to make sure that our cables meet the performance specs of Cat6 cable as designated by ISO/IEC and TIA.

Cat6 cable (Link Class E) must be able to perform to 1Gb and 250 MHZ with a recommended channel length of 100 meters. That is their spec.

Both our Elite Cat6 and Cat6e cables meet this specification. Although Cat6e cable is not a standardized class by TIA, rest assured that our cables meet this specification and performance.

Our Cat6e cables has a performance spec of:

• 250 MHZ
• 1Gb
• Channel Length of 100 Meters (328 Feet)
• Performance tested to 600MHz
