FAQs
What is the difference between CAT6 and CAT5e cables?
CAT6 cables support higher data transmission speeds and are better suited for multi-gigabit networks. They have tighter twists in the conductors and improved shielding, making them ideal for modern business networks and data centres.
Can I use this cable for gigabit ethernet?
Yes. The Astrotek CAT6 cable fully supports gigabit ethernet and higher speeds, making it suitable for demanding network applications.
What does 'snagless' mean?
Snagless design features a protective boot around the RJ45 connector that prevents the latch from catching on cables or fixtures during installation, reducing the risk of damage.
Is this cable suitable for outdoor use?
No. This is an unshielded UTP cable designed for indoor office and data centre use. For outdoor installations, outdoor-rated cables should be used.
What is the warranty coverage?
The Astrotek CAT6 cable includes a 12-month warranty covering manufacturing defects.
Why are the connectors gold-plated?
Gold plating provides superior corrosion resistance and helps maintain a reliable connection over time, reducing signal loss and connection failures.
