The KEM Cat 6 UTP patch cables are of good quality and meet all Cat 6 specification requirements. The cores of the cable are CCA, copper coated aluminum. CCA has the same conductivity as copper, but the cable is slightly more sensitive. This means that if, for example, you have to make sharp bends (a kink), hairline cracks can occur in the aluminum, which can cause a loss, especially in the bit rate (speed and size of the data traffic). The big advantage of CCA is that it is considerably cheaper than OFC (oxygen free copper).

All in all, the KEM Cat 6 network cables are very convenient to use in situations at home or at the office when you do not need to lay sharp bends or in patch cabinets where the distances are often small and there is always enough space for the cable to connect. The Cat 6 cables meet all requirements that Category 6 cables must meet.

It is therefore in most cases, both at home and at the office, not necessary at all to use a much more expensive OFC Cat 6 cable, in most cases you will get away with a CCA Cat 6 cable.

When you lay a Cat 6 cable through a gutter with a power cable in the same gutter, it is advisable to use a well-shielded Cat 6 cable, with SSTP or PiMF. Such a shielding that your signal is not disturbed by the electromagnetic charge that a power cable gives off. SSTP stands for separate shielded twisted pair and PiMF stands for Pairs in Metal Foil. These cables are also equipped with OFC Cu cores (oxygen-free copper cores)
