FAQs
What is the difference between CAT6 and other Ethernet cable categories?
CAT6 cables offer superior performance specifications for crosstalk and system noise compared to CAT5e. They support speeds up to 10 Gigabit Ethernet with a performance specification of 250MHz, making them suitable for modern high-speed networks.
Why is the ultra-thin design important?
The ultra-thin design reduces bulk and saves valuable space in high-density patch panel installations. This improves airflow, simplifies cable management, and allows for more efficient use of rack space in data centres and network closets.
Are the connectors gold-plated? Why does that matter?
Yes, the connectors are gold-plated. Gold plating resists corrosion, maintains signal integrity over time, and ensures reliable conductivity. This is particularly important in installations where cables are frequently connected and disconnected.
What does 'Fluke tested' mean?
Fluke testing is an industry standard verification process that confirms the cable meets electrical and performance specifications. Every 8ware CAT6 cable is tested using Fluke equipment during manufacturing to ensure consistent quality and reliability.
Is this cable suitable for 10 Gigabit Ethernet?
Yes. The cable meets ISO/IEC 11801 Category 6 specifications and is rated to support 10-Gigabit Ethernet applications. It also supports Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet, making it versatile for various network speeds.
What is the warranty coverage?
The 8ware CAT6 Ultra Thin Patch Cable includes a 3-year warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship.
What does T568A wiring standard mean?
T568A is one of two standardised colour-coding arrangements for Ethernet cables defined by TIA/EIA-568. The cable uses T568A configuration to ensure compatibility with standard network installations and to maintain consistent signal performance.
