6 wire is similar to Category 5e wire in that it is a 4-pair, copper
wire. However, Cat6 features more stringent requirements to combat
crosstalk and system noise. One of the biggest issues with high speed
data transfer is the inevitable crosstalk from one conductor to
another. Cat6 wiring reduces this effect by quite a bit. For this
reason, we at Com-Tech prefer to wire all data runs at Cat6 wire.
