WESTCables deals in a range of CAT cables from CAT5 to CAT5e, CAT6, CAT6A, and CAT7. Plenum rated UTP cables along with STP and FTP cables at our stores are meant for utmost comfort when it comes to dealing with computing networks.

Specialized air vents in the buildings for the natural flow of air throughout the dimensions of the building is referred to as ‘plenum’. Such buildings have lowered ceilings and raised floor systems. Plenum rated cables best suit the purpose of patching up the computing devices over external Ethernet jackets.

Plenum rated cables are equipped with the extra bit of shielding so that they cannot catch fire easily. They have the low smoke and low flame. They become environmentally friendly and are less toxic in comparison to many other forms of CAT cables.

UTP stands for untwisted pair cables, which is a copper cable used in telephone wiring and supports Local area networks.

CAT7 is the latest innovation in the series of patch and Ethernet cables. CAT7 are more sound and proficient in handing EMI’s and crosstalks. Additional shielding units have been added to individual wire pairs in CAT7 cable for overcoming extra pressures originating from the release of electromagnetic radiations.

CAT6 cables are less effective in handling crosstalks as compared to CAT7. CAT6 can support 10GB/s but over smaller distances as compared to CAT5e.

CAT5e and CAT6 cables show variations in frequencies as well. CAT5e has a frequency of 350MHZ whereas the category 6 patch cable has the higher frequency which is 550MHZ.
