What is the cable diameter of a single core of cat6 ? I can find the diameter and AWG of a whole cat6 cable (eg, 8 cores + outer insulation) but couldn't find the cable diameter of a single core of cat6.

It's defined (I guess) in ANSI/TIA-568.2-D - Balanced Twisted-Pair Telecommunications Cabling and Components. "This Standard specifies the mechanical and transmission requirements of category 3, 5e, 6, 6A, and 8 balanced twisted-pair copper cabling and components." Unfortunately this costs $1,773 :/ – DavidPostill – 2018-11-06T21:49:25.253
1AWG 26/7 == AWG 24 in Ethernet cable? - Page 1 – DavidPostill – 2018-11-06T22:02:42.757
@DavidPostill, you spent $1,773 just so you could answer this question? Wow! That's dedication! :-) – fixer1234 – 2018-11-07T10:10:21.263
@fixer1234 I didn't spend the money. I found another link which seems to answer the question ;) – DavidPostill – 2018-11-07T11:11:11.243
@fixer1234 I've found a cheaper price ($432.00) but I'm not going to pay that either :)
