FAQs
What is the difference between Cat6 and Cat5e cables?
Cat6 cables support higher frequencies (up to 250MHz) and faster data transmission speeds compared to Cat5e, making them suitable for Gigabit and 10-Gigabit Ethernet networks. Cat6 also has stricter specifications for crosstalk and system noise, providing better performance in demanding environments.
Is this cable suitable for 10-Gigabit Ethernet?
Yes. The 8ware CAT6 cable is certified for 10-Gigabit Ethernet support. However, transmission distance and environmental conditions may affect performance, so it is recommended to follow best practices for high-speed network installations.
Why is the ultra-thin design important?
The ultra-thin profile is ideal for high-density patch panel setups where space is limited. It reduces cable clutter, improves airflow in server rooms, and makes cable management easier without requiring larger or alternative routing infrastructure.
What does Fluke tested mean?
Fluke testing verifies that the cable meets published industry standards for performance, crosstalk, and signal integrity. It is an independent certification that confirms the cable performs as specified by the manufacturer and standards bodies.
Are the connectors colour-coded?
Yes. The cable uses T568A colour-coded twisted pairs (Blue, Orange, Green, Brown), which is the standard colour coding for Ethernet cables and allows easy identification and proper termination in network installations.
What is included with the warranty?
The cable comes with a 3-year warranty covering manufacturing defects. For warranty claims or support, please contact Hyetech Australia with proof of purchase.
Can I use this cable outdoors?
This is an indoor UTP (unshielded twisted pair) cable. For outdoor or direct burial applications, a shielded or outdoor-rated cable is recommended to protect against environmental exposure and interference.
