FAQs
What is the difference between CAT5e and CAT6 cables?
CAT5e cables support speeds up to 1 Gbps and are suitable for standard office networking. CAT6 cables support higher speeds and have better shielding. Choose based on your network requirements and equipment specifications.
Is this cable suitable for long-distance runs?
At 2 metres, this cable is ideal for desktop and short-distance connections. For longer runs, consider using CAT5e cables in longer lengths or upgrading to CAT6 for extended distances.
Can I use this cable outdoors?
This is an indoor-rated cable with standard UTP construction. For outdoor use, select cables rated for outdoor/external environments with appropriate UV and weather protection.
What does UTP mean?
UTP stands for Unshielded Twisted Pair. It refers to the cable construction where pairs of wires are twisted together but not shielded, suitable for standard indoor network applications.
Why is the cable green?
The green colour provides visual identification and helps with cable organisation in installations with multiple patch cords of different colours.
What warranty does this cable come with?
The 8ware CAT5e cable includes a 12-month manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship.
