FAQs
What is the difference between CAT6 and CAT5e cables?
CAT6 cables support faster data transmission speeds (up to 10 Gbps) compared to CAT5e (up to 1 Gbps). CAT6 also has superior noise rejection and is recommended for modern network installations.
Is this cable suitable for outdoor use?
This is an indoor UTP cable and is not rated for outdoor use. For outdoor applications, consider shielded or outdoor-rated cables.
What does snagless mean?
Snagless design features a retractable or recessed boot on the RJ45 connector that prevents the latch from catching on other cables or equipment during installation and removal.
Can I use this cable for PoE (Power over Ethernet) devices?
Yes, CAT6 cables support Power over Ethernet applications. This cable can carry both data and power for compatible devices such as IP cameras and wireless access points.
Why is pure copper better than copper-clad aluminium?
Pure copper provides superior electrical conductivity and signal quality compared to copper-clad aluminium, resulting in more reliable data transmission and better performance over distance.
What do the gold-plated connectors do?
Gold plating improves electrical contact and corrosion resistance, ensuring stable connections and reducing signal degradation over time.
