DTech CAT6 Solid Copper U/UTP 500MHz Cable 305m Orange
AV-Ready CAT6 Data Cable for Network, PoE and Multimedia Infrastructure
DTech CAT6 Solid Copper U/UTP 500MHz Cable 305m Orange combines solid copper construction with high-frequency CAT6 performance for professional structured cabling installations. Its distinctive orange LSZH jacket makes cable runs easy to recognise, while the 305m pull box provides a practical format for larger residential, commercial and AV projects.
Built with eight solid bare copper conductors arranged as four twisted pairs, this DTech AV-Ready CAT6 Cable uses an unscreened U/UTP design and is rated for performance up to 500MHz. DTech specifies the range for 10GBASE-T networking, PoE and ELV control, as well as compatible video and audio distribution when appropriate hardware is used.
Designed for Data and AV Infrastructure
Modern structured cabling may be required to support considerably more than conventional computer networking. DTech developed its AV-Ready N-Link range with data, control and multimedia applications in mind.
The cable can support standard network devices alongside PoE-powered equipment and ELV control systems. Suitable communication hardware can also allow the structured cabling infrastructure to carry compatible HD, UHD and 4K video or audio signals.

Orange Jacket for Clear Cable Segregation
The orange jacket provides an immediate visual distinction from other CAT6 cable runs. This can be particularly helpful on projects where jacket colours are assigned to different networks, services, equipment types or building areas.
Using colour-coded cables can simplify identification at patch panels, containment systems and termination points, helping make future testing, alterations and maintenance easier.
Solid Copper 8 Core U/UTP Cable
DTech CAT6 Solid Copper U/UTP 500MHz Cable 305m Orange contains four individually colour-identified twisted pairs, giving a total of eight 23AWG conductors.
DTech specifies solid bare copper conductor material with PE core insulation. The U/UTP configuration has no overall cable screen, providing an unscreened CAT6 construction for installations where shielded data cable is not required.
500MHz AV-Ready CAT6 Performance
With performance specified up to 500MHz, the cable is designed for bandwidth-intensive structured cabling applications and supports 10GBASE-T according to the manufacturer.
The DTech AV-Ready CAT6 Cable is also referenced by DTech as being certified through Intertek’s ETL verification scheme and the Valens HDBaseT Recommended Cable Program.
