FAQs
What is the maximum distance for a Cat6 cable?
Cat6 cables are certified for reliable performance up to 100 metres. For distances beyond this, signal degradation may occur. The 0.5m length of this cable is ideal for short patch panel and switch connections.
Can this cable support 10-Gigabit Ethernet?
Yes. This Cat6 cable is compliant with 10-Gigabit Ethernet standards and can support 10GbE connections. Cat6 supports performance up to 250MHz, making it suitable for high-speed applications.
What does 'ultra thin' mean for network cables?
Ultra-thin cables have a smaller diameter than standard Cat6 cables, allowing them to fit more densely in patch panels and cable management systems without compromising performance or durability.
Why are the connectors gold-plated?
Gold plating provides superior electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance compared to standard connectors. This ensures reliable signal transmission and longer connector lifespan in demanding environments.
What does 'Fluke tested' mean?
Fluke testing certifies that the cable meets industry standards for performance, signal integrity, and quality. It validates that the cable will perform reliably in professional network installations.
Is this cable suitable for POE (Power over Ethernet) applications?
Yes. Cat6 cables, including this 8ware model, are compliant with POE standards and can carry both data and power for compatible devices such as IP cameras and wireless access points.
What is the difference between Cat6 and Cat5e?
Cat6 offers better performance specifications, supporting up to 250MHz compared to Cat5e's 100MHz. Cat6 provides lower crosstalk and noise, making it ideal for Gigabit and 10-Gigabit networks.
