About BJC Certified Cat 6 Cable, With Test
The Trouble With Cat 6: There are a lot of Cat 6 cables on the market, and folks pay more for them than for Cat 5e because Cat 6 is a higher standard, tested to higher frequencies, for higher bitrates. But when we tested twenty Cat 6 and 6a cables, from major brick-and-mortar and online vendors, we found that 80% of them didn't live up to their stated Category specification--and many failed miserably. Worse, the majority of cables sold as Cat 6 or better didn't even pass the much easier Cat 5e spec! The Blue Jeans Cable Difference: Our Cat 6 is Really "Cat 6"! Most sellers of "Cat 6" cables just import them from China, and know almost nothing about the product; Blue Jeans Cable is an American manufacturer of high-quality professional communications cables and we know what makes good cable. Our bulk Cat 6 patchcord stock is made in the USA by Belden, using its patented bonded-pair technology for the best possible control over data pair dimensions, spacing and impedance, and we cut and connectorize this cable, using American-made connectors (from Sentinel in York, PA), right here in our Seattle shop. The cable is American-made from tip to tip, with the exception of the strain relief boot which is imported. And then--unlike those Chinese factories--we do something almost unheard-of: we TEST each cable. Every Cable Comes with a Full-Color Test Report We run a full "certification test" on EVERY Ethernet cable we make, using a certification tester, the Fluke DTX-1800; rather than just check continuity, or just check function in a rough-and-ready way, the DTX tests the very properties--crosstalk and return loss--which are critical to passing the spec. We print out the full report, including graphs showing crosstalk and return loss relative to frequency, and include it in the package.
