FAQs
What is the difference between CAT6 and CAT5e cables?
CAT6 cables support higher data transmission speeds and frequencies up to 250MHz, compared to CAT5e at 100MHz. CAT6 is better suited for multi-gigabit networks and future-proofing infrastructure investments.
Is the snagless design important?
Yes. The snagless boot prevents the connector tab from breaking during installation and removal, extending cable lifespan and reducing replacement costs in high-traffic network environments.
Why are gold-plated connectors used?
Gold plating provides superior corrosion resistance and ensures consistent, reliable electrical connections over time, which is critical for stable network performance.
Can I use this cable for internet connections?
Yes. The Astrotek CAT6 cable is suitable for broadband, internet, and any high-speed data applications requiring reliable Ethernet connectivity.
Is UTP (unshielded) adequate for office networks?
UTP is suitable for most office and data centre environments. Shielded cables (STP) are recommended only for areas with significant electromagnetic interference.
What is the warranty coverage?
The cable includes a 12-month manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship.
