FAQs
What is the difference between Cat5e and Cat6 cables?
Cat6 cables offer higher bandwidth (250 MHz vs 100 MHz for Cat5e) and stricter specifications for crosstalk and noise. This makes Cat6 better suited for Gigabit and 10-Gigabit Ethernet applications, whilst Cat5e is typically limited to Gigabit speeds.
Why is the ultra-thin design beneficial?
The ultra-thin profile reduces bulk in high-density patch panels, making cable management easier and improving airflow in server racks. This is particularly valuable in data centres where space optimisation is critical.
Is this cable suitable for 10-Gigabit Ethernet?
Yes. This Cat6 cable is compliant with ISO/IEC 11801 Category 6 standards and supports 10-Gigabit Ethernet performance, making it suitable for modern high-speed network installations.
What does 'Fluke tested' mean?
Fluke testing verifies that the cable meets industry standards for signal integrity, crosstalk, and overall performance using professional testing equipment. This ensures reliable connectivity in production networks.
Are the RJ45 connectors replaceable?
The connectors are factory-fitted with fully moulded boots and are not designed to be replaced. If connector damage occurs, the cable should be replaced to maintain network reliability.
What is the warranty period?
This cable is backed by a 3-year warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship.
What colour options are available?
This model is available in black. Please check our full 8ware Cat6 range for other colour options.
