FAQs
What is the difference between CAT6 and CAT5e cables?
CAT6 cables support higher data transfer rates (up to 1 Gbps) and have improved immunity to crosstalk and interference compared to CAT5e. They are better suited for modern networks and future-proofing your infrastructure.
What does 'snagless' mean?
Snagless refers to the protective boot surrounding the RJ45 connector. It prevents the clip from snagging on cables or connectors during installation, reducing the risk of damage and making the cable easier to handle in tight spaces.
Why are the connectors gold-plated?
Gold plating improves electrical conductivity and prevents corrosion, ensuring a reliable connection and reducing signal loss over time. This is especially important for long-run cables and demanding network environments.
Is this cable suitable for 10-metre runs?
Yes. CAT6 cables are rated for reliable performance at this length. The 26AWG pure copper conductors maintain signal integrity across the full 10-metre distance.
Can I use this cable for PoE (Power over Ethernet) applications?
CAT6 cables support PoE applications. However, consult your specific PoE equipment specifications to ensure compatibility with power requirements and delivery standards.
What warranty is included?
The Astrotek CAT6 patch cable includes a 12-month manufacturer's warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship.
