Cat 6 F/UTP PE
Cat 6 F/UTP PE is a ISO/IEC 11801 · TIA-568 (LAN) cable designation: CAT 6 = Category 6: up to 250 MHz, 1 Gbit/s (10 Gbit/s over short runs); ISO/IEC 11801 class E; F/UTP = F/UTP: overall foil screen, pairs unshielded; 4P = 4 twisted pairs (usual count), solid copper (installation); PE = Polyethylene insulation; + = Cross filler (spline) separating the four pairs; PE = Polyethylene (PE) outdoor jacket.

Listed as sources, alphabetically by maker. No maker pays to appear here.
A CPR class is declared by the maker in its Declaration of Performance and printed on the sheath (EN 50575 cl 7). This decoder does not assign one. What the CPR classes mean →

Cat 6 F/UTP PE as the cable designer builds it, Cat 6 F/UTP 4x2xAWG23
Overall diameter 5.6 mm, about 40 kg/km. Nominal values from the standard's tables for this size, computed, not a maker's data.
| Layer | Material | Thickness, mm | Over the layer, mm |
|---|---|---|---|
| Insulation | PE | 0.22 | 1.0 |
| Filler | PP | 4.9 | |
| Tape screen | Aluminium | 0.05 | 5.0 |
| Sheath | PVC | 0.30 | 5.6 |
Cat 6 F/UTP PE on a drum
The smallest drum that passes every check, for 5.6 mm and about 40 kg/km as the cable designer builds it. Drums as their makers print them; lengths are estimates: whole layers wound nested (each turn in the groove of the layer below), wound diameter 1.05 × OD, 50 mm freeboard under the flange rim. Cable makers' own tables print less, as they count aligned layers.
| Length | Drum size (its makers) | Layers | Gross weight |
|---|---|---|---|
| 500 m | KTG 3 (390 mm flange), plastic KTG drums (Europe), KTG | 13 of 16 | 22 kg |
| 1,000 m | KTG 4 (435 mm flange), plastic KTG drums (Europe), KTG | 20 of 20 | 42 kg |
Barrel at least 20 × OD = 112 mm for a cable of this kind (Telecom, data and control cable): KTG table, the cable's datasheet wins. A load rating is the drum maker's own.
