FAQs
What is the difference between Cat 5e and Cat 6 cables?
Cat 6 cables offer higher bandwidth (250MHz vs 100MHz) and better crosstalk performance than Cat 5e. Cat 6 is suitable for Gigabit and 10-Gigabit Ethernet, making it ideal for modern high-speed networks.
Can I use this 0.5m cable for patch panel connections?
Yes. The 0.5m length and ultra-thin design are specifically engineered for high-density patch panel installations where space is limited.
Is this cable suitable for 10-Gigabit networks?
Yes. The Cat 6 specification supports 10-Gigabit Ethernet (10GBase-T), though performance may degrade over longer distances. At 0.5m, it is well suited for short-run 10G connections.
Why are gold-plated connectors important?
Gold-plated connectors resist oxidation and corrosion, ensuring reliable electrical contact and consistent signal quality over time, especially in high-density environments.
What does Fluke tested mean?
Fluke testing confirms that the cable meets industry standards for performance, signal integrity, and crosstalk specifications, ensuring reliable network performance.
Is this cable suitable for outdoor use?
This cable is designed for indoor network installations. For outdoor applications, please consult 8ware's outdoor-rated cable range.
How long is the warranty?
The 8ware CAT6 Ultra Thin comes with a 3-year warranty covering manufacturing defects.
