FAQs
What is the difference between Cat5e and Cat6 cables?
Cat6 cables support higher frequencies (up to 250MHz) compared to Cat5e (100MHz), enabling faster data transfer speeds and better protection against crosstalk and noise. Cat6 is suitable for Gigabit and 10-Gigabit Ethernet, making it the better choice for modern business networks.
Why is the ultra-thin design important?
The ultra-thin profile is specifically designed for high-density patch panel installations where space is limited. It allows more cables to be routed and organised efficiently in server racks and cable trays without compromising performance.
What does Fluke-tested mean?
Fluke testing is an industry-standard verification process that confirms the cable meets Category 6 performance specifications. It ensures the cable delivers reliable connectivity and data transmission speeds as specified.
Is this cable suitable for 10-Gigabit Ethernet?
Yes. The 8ware CAT6 cable is fully compliant with Category 6 standards and supports 10-Gigabit Ethernet for distances up to specified limits, making it suitable for high-speed network environments.
What does T568A colour coding mean?
T568A is a standard colour arrangement for the twisted pairs within the cable that determines pin order. It ensures proper connectivity and is widely used in structured cabling installations. Both ends of the cable use the same colour sequence.
Does the cable come with a warranty?
Yes. The 8ware CAT6 Ultra Thin cable includes a 3-year warranty covering manufacturing defects and performance issues.
Can this cable be used outdoors?
This cable is designed for indoor use in data centres, server rooms, and commercial office environments. For outdoor applications, please consult our product specialists regarding outdoor-rated alternatives.
