FAQs
What is the difference between Cat6 and Cat5e cables?
Cat6 cables support higher bandwidth (250MHz vs 100MHz) and feature more stringent specifications for crosstalk and system noise. Cat6 is better suited for 10-Gigabit Ethernet and future-proofing, whilst Cat5e is adequate for Gigabit Ethernet.
Why choose an ultra-thin Cat6 cable?
Ultra-thin cables are ideal for high-density patch panel installations where space is limited. They maintain full Cat6 performance whilst fitting more cables into confined equipment racks and cable trays.
Are these cables suitable for 10-Gigabit Ethernet?
Yes. At 5 metres, this Cat6 cable supports 10-Gigabit Ethernet speeds, making it suitable for modern network infrastructure and future expansion.
What does 'Fluke tested' mean?
Fluke testing is an industry-standard verification process that confirms the cable meets specified performance standards for signal integrity, crosstalk, and bandwidth. It ensures quality and reliability.
Is this cable suitable for outdoor use?
This is an indoor patch cable. For outdoor installations, you'll need outdoor-rated Cat6 cables with UV and weather resistance.
What is the warranty period?
The 8ware CAT6 Ultra Thin Cable comes with a 3-year manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship.
