BBD6 is an Outside Plant (OSP) unshielded Broadband Category 6 cable. BBD6 has guaranteed transmission performance out to 250 MHz. The cable consists of a core of four balanced twisted pairs held in place bya cross-web separator and surrounded by a filling compound to prevent water ingress. The core is jacketed with a sunlight and abrasion resistant black polyethylene outer jacket. Shielded designs feature dry water block between the shield and the core jacket to prevent water ingress. All designs are suitable for buried applications.
