FAQs
What is the difference between Cat6 and Cat5e cables?
Cat6 cables support higher frequencies (250MHz vs 100MHz) and are designed for 10-Gigabit Ethernet, whereas Cat5e typically maxes out at Gigabit speeds. Cat6 also has more stringent specifications for crosstalk and system noise, making it better for demanding environments.
Why is the ultra-thin design beneficial?
Ultra-thin cables are ideal for high-density patch panel setups where space is limited. They allow more cables to fit in the same area without compromising performance, making them perfect for server rooms and data centres.
Are the connectors durable?
Yes. The cable features gold-plated connectors with strong, robust male-to-male construction and fully moulded strain-relief boots. These design elements provide durability and protect against wear and corrosion.
Is this cable suitable for outdoor use?
This is an unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable designed for indoor use. For outdoor applications, shielded cables or outdoor-rated alternatives would be more appropriate.
What does Fluke testing mean?
Fluke testing is industry-standard certification that verifies the cable meets performance specifications for data transmission quality, signal integrity, and compliance with category standards. It ensures reliability for professional installations.
Can I use this cable for PoE (Power over Ethernet) applications?
Cat6 cables can carry Power over Ethernet. However, for high-power PoE+ applications, verify compatibility with your specific equipment and power requirements.
What warranty is included?
The 8ware Cat6 Ultra Thin cable includes a 3-year warranty covering manufacturing defects and performance issues.
