FAQs
What is the maximum distance a CAT5e cable can transmit data?
CAT5e cables are rated for reliable data transmission up to 100 metres per run. This 10-metre cable is suitable for most office and home network installations.
What does snagless mean on an Ethernet cable?
Snagless refers to a protective boot around the RJ45 connector that prevents the locking clip from being caught or broken during installation or removal, improving durability and reducing replacement costs.
Can I use this cable for internet connections?
Yes, the Astrotek CAT5e cable is suitable for internet connections, network switches, routers, modems, and any standard Ethernet device. It supports data rates up to 1 Gigabit per second.
Is this cable shielded or unshielded?
This is an unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable, which is standard for most office and residential networks. It provides good performance without the added bulk of shielding.
What does 26AWG mean?
26AWG refers to the conductor gauge (thickness). Thicker conductors (lower AWG numbers) generally offer better performance over longer distances. 26AWG is standard for reliable performance in CAT5e cables.
Is gold plating on the connectors important?
Gold plating on connector contacts resists corrosion and oxidation, ensuring stable electrical connections over time. This improves reliability and longevity, particularly in environments with temperature or humidity fluctuations.
