FAQs
Is this cable suitable for gigabit networking?
Yes. The Astrotek CAT6 cable is rated for CAT6 performance and supports multi-gigabit protocols, making it suitable for gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T) and higher-speed applications.
What does 'snagless' mean?
The snagless design refers to the protective boot around the RJ45 connector. This prevents the clip from snagging on cables during installation and removal, reducing the risk of damage and accidental disconnection.
Why are the contacts gold-plated?
Gold plating improves conductivity and corrosion resistance, ensuring reliable electrical contact and reducing signal loss over time. This is especially important for critical network infrastructure.
What is the difference between UTP and shielded cables?
UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) cables rely on twisted pair construction to reduce electromagnetic interference. Shielded cables have an additional foil or braid layer. UTP is standard for most office and data centre applications.
Is 25cm long enough for my equipment?
The 25cm length is designed for short runs, such as connecting adjacent equipment in server racks, switch ports to patch panels, or desktop setups with nearby devices. Measure your required distance before purchasing.
Can I use this cable outdoors?
This is an indoor-rated network cable. For outdoor applications, use cables specifically rated for external environments with UV and weather-resistant jackets.
