Networking cable Alantec KIU6LSOH305D U/UTP Cat6, 305 m, Grey, 24 AWG

The Alantec KIU6LSOH305D is a Category 6 U/UTP networking cable, supplied in a 305 metre reel with a grey outer jacket. It is manufactured and tested to ISO/IEC 11801 2nd Edition, EN 50173:2007 and ANSI/TIA/EIA-568-B.2 standards for enhanced performance Category 6 cables, with all parameters verified by INTERTEK. The cable comprises eight colour-coded polyethylene insulated conductors twisted into four pairs with varying lay lengths and includes a nylon rip cord for easier jacket removal. The sheath is made from either LSOH/FRNC or PVC material and features printed part number, specification details and a unique 305 m marking to allow quick measurement of installed cable and remaining length in the box.

Advantages

The Alantec KIU6LSOH305D offers standardized Cat6 performance suitable for high-speed Ethernet applications, verified by an independent laboratory (INTERTEK). Its colour-coded conductors and consistent pair twists reduce crosstalk and help maintain signal integrity. The choice of LSOH/FRNC or PVC jacket materials and the printed length markings simplify installation, identification and safety in different environments.

How to use

Measure and cut the required length using the printed 305 m markings on the sheath to track remaining cable. Use the nylon rip cord to open the jacket cleanly, strip back the polyethylene insulation from each conductor, arrange the four twisted pairs according to the termination standard you are using (for example T568A or T568B), and terminate with suitable RJ45 connectors or patch panels rated for Cat6. Follow standard cabling best practices: avoid sharp bends, maintain appropriate separation from power cabling and secure the cable to prevent strain.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, maintain recommended bend radius, limit permanent cable runs to appropriate environments for the chosen jacket type, and use Cat6-rated connectors and patch panels. Choose LSOH/FRNC jacket for areas where low smoke and halogen-free properties are required.
