FAQs
What is the difference between CAT6 and other ethernet cable types?
CAT6 cables support higher frequencies (up to 250MHz) compared to CAT5e, enabling faster data transmission and reduced crosstalk. They're suitable for gigabit and 10-gigabit ethernet applications, making them ideal for modern network infrastructures.
Why choose an ultra-thin CAT6 cable?
Ultra-thin cables save space in high-density patch panels and cable trays, improving cable management and airflow in server rooms and data centres. They maintain full CAT6 performance whilst reducing installation footprint.
Is this cable suitable for 10-gigabit networks?
Yes. The 8ware CAT6 Ultra Thin Cable is certified to support 10-Gigabit Ethernet applications, though performance may vary depending on total cable run length and installation conditions.
What does Fluke-tested mean?
Fluke testing verifies that the cable meets published performance standards for signal integrity, attenuation, and crosstalk. It's an industry-standard quality assurance process confirming reliable network performance.
Can this cable be used in outdoor environments?
This is an indoor-rated ethernet cable. For outdoor or exposed applications, an outdoor-rated cable with UV-resistant jacketing is recommended.
What does the 3-year warranty cover?
The 3-year warranty covers manufacturing defects and faulty materials. Refer to the warranty documentation for full terms and conditions.
Is the 20m length suitable for my installation?
For most applications, 20 metres is sufficient for linking patch panels to switches or connecting devices within a server room. For longer runs, consider multiple cables or consult your network design specifications.
