FAQs
What is the difference between Cat5e and Cat6 cables?
Cat6 cables support higher bandwidth up to 250MHz compared to Cat5e's 100MHz, making them suitable for Gigabit and 10-Gigabit Ethernet. Cat6 also has stricter specifications for crosstalk and system noise, providing better performance in high-speed data transmission.
Why is the ultra-thin design beneficial?
Ultra-thin cables take up significantly less space in patch panels and cable trays, making them ideal for high-density installations. This reduces cable management challenges and improves airflow in server rooms without compromising performance.
Is this cable suitable for 10-Gigabit Ethernet?
Yes, the Cat6 cable is rated to support 10-Gigabit Ethernet applications, though performance is optimised for shorter distances. For 10GbE at longer distances, Cat6A is recommended.
What does Fluke tested mean?
Fluke testing verifies that cables meet all Cat6 performance specifications including signal integrity, crosstalk, and bandwidth. It provides independent confirmation that the cable will perform reliably in your network.
Can I use this cable for Power over Ethernet (PoE)?
Yes, Cat6 cables support Power over Ethernet. However, PoE performance depends on the power consumption requirements of your connected devices. Consult device specifications for compatibility.
What is the warranty on this cable?
This cable is backed by a 3-year warranty covering manufacturing defects and performance issues.
Are the connectors colour-coded?
Yes, the cable features T568A colour-coded configuration on the conductors, ensuring proper wiring standards for Ethernet connectivity and network compatibility.
