No, a CCA CAT6 cannot meet both ISO11801 and ITA/EIA568 standards simultaneously.
The labels refer to compliance certifications, not the core specifications. ISO11801 and ITA/EIA568 ensure performance and safety, while UL approval relates to electrical safety standards. The 10Gbps over CAT6 claim is about speed and distance limits, not just certification.
The cable may need certification from a specific authority, but that covers the basics. The two standards set the criteria for compliance. Different organizations could also verify adherence to those rules. CCA isn't part of the requirements—it's actually prohibited from being used in this context.
You can share your concerns directly. There isn't a specific sub-section confirming CAT6 is purely copper, but the ISO standards you mentioned do cover thickness and material requirements. The additional section addressing purity should clarify compliance. Your observation about Monoprice's product highlights potential discrepancies between labeling and actual specifications.
