FAQs
What is the difference between CAT6 and other cable categories?
CAT6 offers improved specifications for crosstalk and system noise compared to earlier categories. It supports up to 250MHz bandwidth and handles Gigabit and 10-Gigabit Ethernet speeds reliably. CAT6 is ideal for modern business networks requiring high performance and future-proofing.
Why is an ultra-thin design important?
Ultra-thin cables are essential in high-density patch panel environments where space is limited. The 8ware CAT6 reduces clutter and improves airflow in server racks and switch installations, making cable management easier without compromising performance.
Are gold-plated connectors necessary?
Yes. Gold-plated RJ45 connectors provide superior conductivity, reduce oxidation, and ensure more reliable connections over time. This is particularly important in professional installations where downtime is costly.
What does Fluke tested mean?
Fluke testing is the industry standard for cable performance verification. It ensures the cable meets CAT6 specifications for bandwidth, crosstalk, and signal integrity. This guarantees reliability and compatibility with professional network equipment.
Can this cable be used for 10-Gigabit Ethernet?
Yes, the 8ware CAT6 cable supports 10-Gigabit Ethernet with its 250MHz bandwidth and full CAT6 compliance. However, for optimal 10-Gigabit performance over longer distances, CAT6A may be preferred in some environments.
What is the T568A colour code standard?
T568A is an industry standard for how the eight wires inside an Ethernet cable are arranged within the RJ45 connector. This colour-coded configuration ensures compatibility across all network equipment and proper signal transmission.
What warranty does this cable include?
The 8ware CAT6 Ultra Thin Cable includes a 3-year warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship.
