FAQs
What is the difference between CAT6 and CAT5e cables?
CAT6 cables support faster data transfer speeds and higher bandwidth than CAT5e, making them suitable for multi-gigabit Ethernet networks. They also have better shielding and reduced crosstalk, providing improved performance for modern network requirements.
Is this cable suitable for patch panel connections?
Yes, the 25cm length makes this cable ideal for short connections between patch panels and network devices, allowing for clean and organised cable management in data centres and server rooms.
What does 'snagless' mean?
The snagless boot is a protective sleeve around the RJ45 connector that prevents the clip from catching on obstacles during installation and removal, reducing the risk of connector damage.
Can I use this cable for PoE (Power over Ethernet) applications?
Yes, CAT6 cables support PoE applications. The gold-plated connectors and quality copper conductors ensure reliable power and data delivery for PoE-enabled devices.
Why is the connector gold-plated?
Gold plating provides superior corrosion resistance, improves contact quality, and ensures consistent electrical performance over time, resulting in more reliable and durable connections.
What does 26AWG mean?
26AWG refers to the American Wire Gauge of the copper conductors. This gauge provides a good balance between flexibility and conductivity for network cables.
Is this cable UTP or shielded?
This is a UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) cable. The twisted pair design itself provides protection against interference for most standard network environments.
