FAQs
What is the difference between CAT6 FTP and unshielded CAT6 cable?
CAT6 FTP (Foiled Twisted Pair) includes shielding that reduces electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, making it ideal for high-density installations and environments with electrical noise. Unshielded cable is adequate for standard office environments but offers less protection.
Is this cable suitable for outdoor installations?
This cable features a PVC jacket designed for indoor use. For outdoor applications, outdoor-rated cables with UV-resistant jackets are recommended.
How does the metre marking help during installation?
Metre markings printed on the cable jacket help installers track remaining cable length in the roll and plan custom runs more accurately, reducing waste and installation time.
What does ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 compliance mean?
This standard ensures the cable meets industry specifications for performance, safety, and compatibility with network equipment, guaranteeing reliable operation in enterprise environments.
Can I use this cable for high-speed applications like 10 Gigabit Ethernet?
CAT6 cable can support 10 Gigabit Ethernet over shorter distances (up to 55 metres). For extended runs requiring consistent 10G performance, CAT6A cable is recommended.
What is the minimum bend radius for installation?
For proper performance and longevity, maintain a bend radius of at least 4 times the cable diameter during installation.
How should I store the cable before installation?
Store the cable roll in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Keep the roll on a flat surface or suspended vertically to prevent kinks.
