RCM Certified Cat6 Network Cable - 9m Black
Cat6 Network Cables (also known as Ethernet Cables, LAN Cables, Patch Cables) are used to connect devices within a network, such as a computer to a modem or router. These can also be used to connect other devices, such as your Smart TV, Blu-Ray player or Network Receiver to access various features that require the internet. Cat6 Network Cables are backwards compatible with older networks and devices and will work alongside Cat5 / Cat5e cables, however performance will only be as fast as the device being connected to / from. Full Cat6 speeds and performance require Cat6 enabled devices.

The RCM compliance mark is used to indicate compliance to any ACMA regulatory arrangement for suppliers registered on the national database, a registration of Australian Responsible Suppliers that declare the items they sell or supply meet relevant standards and are electrically safe.

Our cables were tested by ACMA-recognised Austest Laboratories and were found to be fully compliant with the Communications Alliance / Australian Standards AS/CA S008:2010 Requirments for Customer Cabling Products standard.

The ACMA is a government agency responsible for the regulation of broadcasting, the internet, radiocommunications and telecommunications.

The ACMA's responsibilities include:
- promoting self-regulation and competition in the communications industry, while protecting consumers and other users
- fostering an environment in which electronic media respect community standards and respond to audience and user needs
- managing access to the radiofrequency spectrum
- representing Australia 's communications interests internationally.

Why Compliance is Important:
There are many sellers offering network cables that do not meet the specifications set out in the Category 6 certification or that have not passed the Australian Standard RCM certification tests, set out by the ACMA (Australian Communications and Media Authority). If other sellers don't display the RCM "tick" logo, don't buy from them! In order to display the RCM logo cables must achieve a high standard in quality of materials and construction. The Regulatory Compliance Mark (RCM) must only be applied to items that have been tested, 

Suitable for, approved, and certified in Australia. It is an offence for a person to sell cables marked or marketed as RCM unless they have been approved and certified.

These RCM certified cables are suitable for use in businesses, schools, government departments.

Please note: This cable is designed for indoor use only.

Category 6 (Cat6) cables feature much more stringent specifications for protection against cross-talk and system noise than Cat5 and Cat5e cables. This makes Cat6 cables the standard for gigabit ethernet networks, and the popular choice for fast reliable home or office network situations. These premium network data cables are designed to provide fantactic performance and data integrity for general use or when installed in walls or ceilings.

The overall cable is protected/ shielded from outside interference with 3 layers for superior protection against EMI (electromagnetic interference).
- A durable mylar outer layer
- A foil layer around each twisted pair for shielding for protection against high frequency interference
- All 4 twisted pairs are surrounded by a foil braiding for protection against low frequency interference

Other features include moulded strain relief RJ45 (8P8C) gold plated connectors (2 row "staggered" pins as per Cat6 specifications) and a "drain wire" or grounding wire.
