FAQs
What is the maximum distance for a CAT6 cable?
CAT6 cables are rated for up to 100 metres at full performance. This 15-metre cable is ideal for medium-distance connections within offices, data centres, and network installations without signal loss.
Is this cable suitable for gigabit networks?
Yes. CAT6 certification supports 1 Gbps (gigabit) and multi-gigabit protocols, making it suitable for modern business networks and high-bandwidth applications.
What does 'snagless' mean?
The snagless boot is a protective cover over the RJ45 connector that prevents the clip from snagging or breaking during installation and removal. This extends cable lifespan and reduces installation risk.
Can I use this cable for PoE (Power over Ethernet) devices?
Yes. CAT6 UTP cables support Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications, allowing you to power compatible devices such as IP cameras and wireless access points alongside data transmission.
What is the difference between CAT6 and CAT5e?
CAT6 offers improved performance with higher bandwidth capacity and better shielding against interference. It supports faster data speeds and is recommended for modern networks requiring multi-gigabit performance.
Is the cable shielded or unshielded?
This cable is UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair), which is suitable for most office and standard network environments. Shielded versions are available for environments with high electromagnetic interference.
What is the warranty period?
The Astrotek CAT6 Cable includes a 12-month manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship.
