FAQs
What is the difference between Cat5e and Cat6 cables?
Cat6 cables support higher data transmission speeds (up to 10 Gbps) compared to Cat5e (up to 1 Gbps), making them better for future-proofing and multi-gigabit applications. Cat6 also has better shielding and stricter manufacturing standards for improved performance.
Is this cable suitable for 10 Gigabit Ethernet?
Cat6 cables can support 10 Gigabit Ethernet, but the distance is limited to shorter runs (typically 55 metres or less depending on installation conditions). For longer 10 Gbps distances, Cat6A is recommended.
What does snagless mean?
Snagless design features a protective boot around the RJ45 connector that prevents the latch from snagging on cables during installation or removal, reducing the risk of connector damage.
Can I use this cable for PoE (Power over Ethernet) devices?
Yes, Cat6 cables support Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications, making them suitable for powering devices such as IP cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP phones.
Is this cable shielded or unshielded?
This is an unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable. UTP is suitable for standard office and business environments. For high-interference areas, shielded Cat6 (STP) cables may be preferred.
What warranty does the Astrotek CAT6 cable include?
The cable is backed by a 12-month manufacturer's warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship.
