The choice of network cable is quite simple, mainly depending on the specific network requirements. If it is only for 1/10GBase-T network transmission, both ultra-thin Category 6 cable and regular Category 6 cable can be chosen, and both are very suitable for wiring in small and medium-sized enterprises and ordinary data centers. For such network requirements, both ultra-thin Category 6 cable and regular Category 6 cable are good choices.
The design of the ultra-thin Cat6 cable's small diameter makes the air circulation stronger in narrow spaces. If it is used for high-density data centers, the ultra-thin Cat6 cable is a perfect choice. For such network requirements, FS ultra-thin Category 6 cable is an excellent choice.
The following lists some key parameters of HSV ultra-thin Cat6 cable and regular Cat6 cable for your reference when choosing a network cable:
