FAQs
What is the difference between Cat6 and Cat5e cables?
Cat6 cables support higher data transmission speeds (up to 250MHz) and 10-Gigabit Ethernet, compared to Cat5e which maxes out at Gigabit speeds. Cat6 also has stricter specifications for crosstalk and system noise, making it more reliable for modern networks.
Why choose an ultra-thin Cat6 cable?
Ultra-thin cables reduce bulk in high-density patch panels and server racks, making installations tidier and easier to manage. This 8ware cable maintains full Cat6 performance whilst taking up significantly less space.
Is this cable suitable for 10-Gigabit Ethernet networks?
Yes. The 8ware CAT6 cable is certified for 10-Gigabit Ethernet, making it suitable for modern high-speed network deployments.
What does Fluke tested mean?
Fluke testing verifies that the cable meets industry standards for signal integrity, crosstalk, and performance. It ensures the cable performs reliably at the speeds it claims to support.
What is the warranty coverage?
This cable is backed by a 3-year manufacturer's warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship.
Are the connectors gold-plated?
Yes. The RJ45 connectors are gold-plated, which improves conductivity and corrosion resistance, ensuring reliable long-term performance.
What industries commonly use Cat6 cables?
Cat6 cables are used in data centres, enterprise networks, healthcare facilities, education institutions, and any organisation requiring high-speed, reliable network infrastructure.
