FAQs
What is the difference between Cat6 and other Ethernet cable types?
Cat6 cables support higher frequencies (up to 250MHz) and data rates compared to Cat5e, making them suitable for Gigabit and 10-Gigabit Ethernet. Cat6 also has better crosstalk and noise immunity specifications, providing improved performance for modern networks.
Why choose an ultra-thin Cat6 cable?
Ultra-thin cables take up less space in patch panels and cable trays, making them ideal for high-density installations where space is limited. This 8ware cable maintains full Cat6 performance while offering a more compact form factor.
Is this cable suitable for 10-Gigabit Ethernet?
Yes, the 8ware CAT6 cable is fully compatible with 10-Gigabit Ethernet standards. However, for 10G applications over longer distances, Cat6A cables may offer better performance specifications.
What does 'Fluke tested' mean?
Fluke testing uses industry-standard certification equipment to verify that cables meet performance specifications. It ensures the cable delivers reliable data transmission at specified frequencies and distances.
Can I use this cable for both data and voice applications?
Yes, Cat6 cables support both data and voice transmission. This cable is suitable for general network infrastructure, VoIP, and other telecommunications applications.
What connector standard does this cable use?
This cable uses RJ45 connectors with T568A colour-coded configuration, which is the standard for modern networking applications in Australia and internationally.
What warranty does this cable include?
The 8ware CAT6 Ultra-Thin Cable includes a 3-year warranty, providing peace of mind for your network infrastructure investment.
