FAQs
What is the difference between CAT5e and CAT6 cables?
CAT5e cables support data rates up to 1 Gbps, making them suitable for most standard office networks. CAT6 cables support up to 10 Gbps but are typically more expensive. For typical business applications, CAT5e provides reliable performance at lower cost.
Can I use this cable for gaming or streaming?
Yes, CAT5e cables are suitable for general internet use, including streaming and gaming. However, if you require the highest speeds or plan to upgrade to 10 Gbps networks in the future, CAT6 or higher categories may be more appropriate.
Is the 3-metre length suitable for my network setup?
The 3-metre length is ideal for typical office connections between wall outlets and devices. If you need a longer cable, 8ware offers CAT5e in various lengths. Avoid running cables longer than necessary to minimise signal degradation.
What does UTP construction mean?
UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) means the cable does not have a metal shielding layer. This makes it more flexible and cost-effective, while still providing reliable performance in most office and data centre environments without excessive electromagnetic interference.
Is this cable suitable for permanent installation?
Yes, the durable PVC jacket and quality copper conductors make this cable suitable for both temporary and permanent network installations in offices, data centres, and server rooms.
Does the cable come with a warranty?
Yes, the 8ware CAT5e 3m cable includes a 12-month manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship.
