Q: This cable is built without a spline. How is it for straight runs?
A: Our Cat6 cmp cable is constructed without a spline and has more insulation around the wires than your typical Cat6 cable. This creates the separation you need between the pairs for near end crosstalk. Elite cable fills a couple needs in the industry with people preferring not to terminate with a spline. Navigating through straight runs is not a problem with this cable. If you prefer a spline look to our Cat6e cable. Cat6 plenum meets ANSI/TIA-568.2-D standards.
