F/UTP CAT6 PET
F/UTP CAT6 PET is a ISO/IEC 11801 · TIA-568 (LAN) cable designation: CAT6 = 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.

F/UTP CAT6 PET 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 |
F/UTP CAT6 PET 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.
