FAQs
What is the difference between Cat6 and other Ethernet cable types?
Cat6 cables support higher frequencies (250 MHz) and faster data transmission than Cat5e, with better crosstalk resistance. They are suitable for Gigabit and 10-Gigabit Ethernet networks, making them ideal for modern business environments requiring reliable, high-speed connectivity.
Why choose an ultra-thin Cat6 cable?
Ultra-thin designs are specifically engineered for high-density networking environments, such as server rooms and patch panels, where cable space is limited. The 8ware ultra-thin profile makes installation and management easier without compromising performance or reliability.
Is this cable suitable for 10-Gigabit Ethernet networks?
Yes. The 8ware Cat6 cable supports 10-Gigabit Ethernet and is Fluke tested to ensure performance meets industry standards for high-speed network applications.
What does Fluke tested mean for this cable?
Fluke testing is an independent verification that the cable meets Category 6 performance specifications for signal integrity, crosstalk, and frequency response. It confirms the cable's quality and reliability for professional network installations.
Can I use this cable for both patch panels and desktop connections?
Yes. The 5-metre length and robust male-to-male connectors make this cable suitable for connecting patch panels to network equipment as well as desktop or device connections in office environments.
What is the warranty coverage?
The 8ware Cat6 Ultra Thin Cable includes a 3-year manufacturer's warranty, providing peace of mind for business-critical network installations.
Does this cable meet Australian standards?
Yes. The cable is manufactured to ISO/IEC 11801 Category 6 and TIA/EIA-568-C.2 standards and meets and exceeds Australian industry requirements.
