FAQs
What is the difference between CAT5e and CAT6 cables?
CAT5e supports speeds up to 1 Gbps and is suitable for most office networks. CAT6 supports higher speeds up to 10 Gbps and offers better shielding. Choose CAT5e for standard business applications and CAT6 if you require higher bandwidth or longer cable runs.
Why is the yellow jacket colour useful?
The yellow jacket makes the cable easy to identify visually in network installations. This helps with network maintenance, troubleshooting, and organisation, particularly in environments with multiple cables.
What does T568A colour coding mean?
T568A is an industry standard for the order of wires inside the RJ45 connector. This cable follows T568A, ensuring universal compatibility with standard network equipment and installations.
Is this cable suitable for PoE (Power over Ethernet) devices?
Yes, CAT5e cables can support PoE applications. This cable is suitable for powering compatible devices such as IP cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP phones.
Can I use this cable for longer distances?
This is a 1-metre cable. For longer runs, 8ware offers CAT5e cables in lengths up to 50 metres. For runs exceeding 100 metres, consider CAT6 or higher-grade cabling for better signal integrity.
What does stranded copper mean?
Stranded copper offers greater flexibility than solid copper, making it ideal for cables that require frequent movement or bending. This is typical for patch cables used in dynamic network environments.
