FAQs
What is the difference between CAT6 and CAT5e cables?
CAT6 cables support higher bandwidth (up to 250 MHz) compared to CAT5e (100 MHz), enabling faster data transmission speeds. CAT6 is better suited for Gigabit and multi-gigabit Ethernet applications and future-proofs your network infrastructure.
What does 'snagless' mean?
A snagless design features a protective boot around the RJ45 connector that prevents the latch from catching on cables, racks, or other equipment during installation. This reduces the risk of cable damage and connection failures.
Can I use this cable for 10 Gigabit Ethernet?
CAT6 cables can support 10 Gigabit Ethernet, but over shorter distances (up to 55 metres). For longer distances or guaranteed 10G performance, CAT6A or CAT7 cables are recommended.
Is UTP cable suitable for my office environment?
Yes. UTP (unshielded twisted pair) cable is ideal for typical office and data centre environments. It is cost-effective and performs well where electromagnetic interference (EMI) is not a significant concern. If you have high EMI conditions, shielded cable may be preferable.
What is the warranty coverage?
This cable includes a 12-month manufacturer's warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship.
Is the copper conductor pure or CCA?
The Astrotek CAT6 cable features 26AWG stranded pure copper conductors, which provide superior conductivity and durability compared to copper-clad aluminium (CCA) alternatives.
