Category 6 cable is characterized to 500 MHz and has improved alien crosstalk characteristics, allowing 10GBASE-T to be run for the same 100 meter maximum distance as previous Ethernet variants. Cat 6 cable can be identified by the printing on the side of the cable sheath. Cable types, connector types and cabling topologies are defined by TIA/EIA-568. Cat 6 patch cables are normally terminated in 8P8C modular connectors. Connectors use either T568A or T568B pin assignments; performance is comparable provided both ends of a cable are terminated identically. If Cat 6 rated patch cables, jacks and connectors are not used with Cat 6
