What is the maximum length of cat6 cable can support for a lan?

The maximum allowed length of a Cat-6 cable is 100 meters (330 ft) when used for 10/100/1000baseT. This consists of 90 meters (300 ft) of solid "horizontal" cabling between the patch panel and the wall jack, plus 10 meters (33 ft) of stranded patch cable between each jack and the attached device. Since stranded cable has higher attenuation than solid cable, exceeding 10 meters of patch cabling will reduce the permissible length of horizontal cable.
When used for 10GbaseT, Cat-6 cable's maximum length is 55 meters (180 ft) in a favorable alien crosstalk environment, but only 37 meters (120 ft) in a hostile alien crosstalk environment such as when many cables are bundled together. 10GbaseT runs of up to 100 meters (330 ft) are permissible using Cat-6a.

What is the maximum next that can be supported for a 500mhz channel if you have installed a cat6 cable?
26.1
How do you network two buildings that are far apart?
Try using repeaters. For instance, use CAT6 cable to connect the buildings and add a repeater every 100m (because that is the maximum length that CAT6 can have without a repeater). Hope that helps
What improvement will cat6 and cat7 cable provide?
Backwards compatibility and able to support upto a terabyte
What is the difference between cat6 and cat 7 cable?
1. CAT6a is the improved version of the CAT6 cable.2. Both Gigabit Ethernet up to 100 meters.3. CAT6a is rated for up to 10Gigabits while CAT6 is only rated for 1Gigabit. It is able to achieve this because it operates at 500Mhz; twice that of the 250Mhz operation of the CAT6 cables. CAT6 cables may be able to achieve 10Gbps but only in when short lengths of cable are used.4. CAT6a has twice the bandwidth of CAT6 cables.5. CAT6a is better at resisting alien crosstalk compared to CAT6.6. CAT6a cables are muchthicker compared to CAT6. With the added size of CAT6a comes a significant increase in weight, which affects how many cables you'll be able to fit into a cable tray, as well as where you can place them. Cable tray capacity is drastically reduced when you're using Cat6a cable as they also require a larger bend radius.CAT6a costs a lot more compared to CAT6 (approximately double). However, CAT6a is your best bet if you want some future proofing and can afford the extra cost; doing so saves you from having to gut your walls again once CAT6 cables are no longer sufficient for your needs and you need to upgrade
Which cabling can support a maximum throughput of 100 megabits per second Mbps?
CAT5 or if nessecary CAT6 Twisted pair...
Is it advisable to bury the cat6 cable?
advisable it is
Can you use Duct Tape for Ethernet Cat6 Cable?
Duct tape is nonconductive, and is not CAT6. If you have a damaged CAT6 cable, you could put duct tape over the damaged area, but there is no guaruntee the damage won't cause the cable to underperform (your network may not work at 1Ghz).
What the problem if the cat6 cable is not twisted?
If the cat6 cable is not twisted then the data can interference from other electomagnetic waves.if twisted the pair its cancell the positive and negative charges with opposit direction.
Pros and cons of cat6 cabeling?
Cat6 cable is very similar to Cat5e cable. It is, simply put, just held to a stricter standard than Cat5e cable. Since Cat6 is made to a higher standard than Cat5e it will support higher speed transfers. Cat5e cable can be used for networks up to a 1Gbps speed while Cat6 is currently rated for up to 10Gbps speed. Cat7 takes this even further and supports 40Gbps. For normal usage on networks up to 1Gbps and no run being longer than 100 meters, Cat5e is completely sufficient for the network. To ensure forwards compatibility it may be worthwhile to install Cat6 cable while you're at it so you don't hit a speed cap in your network down the road.
Can you use a cat6 for your xbox 360 slim?
Use an ethernet cable.
What is cable connect to hub for lan?
In most cases it will be an Ethernet cable with an RJ45 head, both Cat5 and Cat6 Ethernet cables will do. Go into a good electronics store and ask for an Ethernet cable of your desired length, they'll normally be able to make one for you.
Which cable type is a common choice for use on ethernet networks?
CAT5 or CAT6
