FAQs
What is the difference between CAT6 and other Ethernet cable types?
CAT6 cables provide up to 250 MHz performance and support Gigabit Ethernet (1000 Mbps) and 10-Gigabit Ethernet speeds. They feature more stringent specifications for crosstalk and system noise compared to earlier standards like CAT5e, making them suitable for modern high-performance networks.
Why is the ultra-thin design important?
The ultra-thin profile is ideal for high-density patch panel installations where space is limited. It allows more cables to be routed and managed without taking up excessive physical space, making cable management cleaner and more professional.
Are gold-plated connectors necessary?
Gold-plated connectors provide superior corrosion resistance and maintain reliable electrical connections over time. This is particularly important in professional environments where cables may be installed and removed multiple times or exposed to varying conditions.
What does Fluke tested mean?
Fluke testing uses professional-grade network cable analysers to verify that cables meet performance specifications before leaving the factory. This ensures consistent quality and reliable network performance.
Is this cable suitable for 10-Gigabit networks?
Yes, CAT6 cables support 10-Gigabit Ethernet (10GBASE-T) standards. However, actual 10 Gbps performance may depend on cable length, installation conditions, and overall network infrastructure.
What is T568A colour configuration?
T568A is a wiring standard that defines the colour order of the twisted pairs within the cable for RJ45 connectors. This cable uses T568A, which is compliant with TIA/EIA-568-C.2 standards and ensures compatibility with network equipment.
What warranty is included?
This cable is backed by a 3-year warranty, covering manufacturing defects and performance issues.
