It is around 12.5 Amps, assuming the crosssection of one strand of cat 6 is of .5 sq mm and four strands are twidted together.

Can cat6 cable be used for 24 volts ac transmission?
Cat 6 is 22-24 AWG wire, so it can carry a few amperes. If you are not trying to transmit much (more than 30-50 watts or so), then it may be suitable. The voltage drop may be significant. I have seen cat5 and cat6 sized cables used in 24v control systems.
What is quad cable with CAT rating?
Dunno. "Quad" usually refers to the shielding (such as TV antenna coaxial cable), "CAT" usually refers to four-pair twisted pair. "CATn" (CAT3~CAT6) is four-pair, twisted-pair, unshielded cabling most commonly used in Ethernet computer network cabling. Refine the question, we can help out.
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 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
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.
Can you use a cat6 for your xbox 360 slim?
Use an ethernet cable.
Which cable type is a common choice for use on ethernet networks?
CAT5 or CAT6
What is the maximum next that can be supported for a 500mhz channel if you have installed a cat6 cable?
26.1
Can a Cat 5e patch cable be used as an HDMI cable?
It is possible to transmit HDMI over a single CAT5E however for reliable transmission a double CAT6 is preferred. You also need a suitable CAT6 to HDMI adaptor of course.
What is Cat6 UTP Cable?
A cat6 cable is more formally known as a category 6 cable and is a cable used for a number of networks first layer (otherwise known as the physical layer) including Gigabit Ethernet. The category 6 is downward compatible with both Category 3 and Category 5/5e standards
Which advanced category of the unshielded twisted pair cable is used in the market today?
CAT5 or CAT6. CAT6 is becoming the standard because it is rated for 1Gbps and faster speeds.
What does the cat6 usually refer to?
Cat6 is a type of category cable which is often used for connecting via the ethernet. It usually provides somewhere in the region of 250 MHz performance.
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.
