FAQs
What is the difference between CAT6 and CAT5e cables?
CAT6 cables support higher data transmission speeds (up to 10 Gbps) compared to CAT5e (1 Gbps), with improved shielding and tighter twisting of wire pairs to reduce crosstalk. CAT6 is recommended for modern networks and future-proofs your installation.
Is 0.25m cable long enough for my network installation?
A 0.25m cable is designed for short distances between adjacent equipment, such as switch-to-switch connections in server racks or within patch panels. For longer distances, use extended-length cables.
What does 'snagless' mean, and why is it important?
Snagless refers to a protective boot around the RJ45 connector that prevents the clip from catching during installation. This protects the cable from damage and makes it easier to insert and remove from tight spaces.
Can I use this cable with all network devices?
Yes. CAT6 cables are backwards compatible with all Ethernet devices that support RJ45 connections, including routers, switches, network cards, and servers.
Is this cable suitable for data centre use?
Yes. The CAT6 specification, gold-plated contacts, and pure copper conductors make this cable suitable for professional data centre, server room, and network cabinet installations.
What is the warranty coverage?
The Astrotek CAT6 cable includes a 12-month manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship.
