A Cat 6 cable is an abbreviation for a category 6 cable. This type of cable is a standardized twisted pair cable for Ethernet and other network physical layers.
When storing your patch leads, we advise that you lightly roll your cables into a loose coil, going with the natural curve of the wire. When not in use, we suggest that the cables be stored in a protective case where dust and impurities will not get lodges into the connector ends.
These Category 6 cables are terminated with high grade modular plugs. The booted strain relief gives cable support and latch protection.
