Leviton Category 6 U/UTP EuroClass Cca cable is a 4‑pair, 23 AWG solid annealed copper cable designed for Class E (Cat 6) structured cabling systems up to 250 MHz. The cable uses a central separator to improve internal crosstalk performance and a Halogen Free Flame Retardant Low‑Smoke (HFFR‑LS) jacket that meets CPR EuroClass Cca s1a d1 a1. Nominal electrical and physical highlights: conductor loop resistance max 19 Ω/100 m (typical 16 Ω/100 m), field NVP 0.69, nominal cable diameter 6.15 mm, nominal weight ~44.6 kg/km, packaged 305 m box/reel (part C6U‑Cca‑Rlx‑305BU).
