FAQs
What is the difference between CAT6 and CAT5e cables?
CAT6 cables support faster data transmission speeds (up to 10 Gbps) compared to CAT5e (up to 1 Gbps) and have improved shielding and twisting to reduce crosstalk, making them better for modern high-speed networks.
Can I use this CAT6 cable for 10 Gbps networks?
Yes, Astrotek CAT6 cables support 10 Gbps transmission speeds, making them suitable for multi-gigabit network environments.
What does 'snagless' mean?
The snagless design features a protective boot around the RJ45 connector that prevents the clip from snagging on cables or equipment during installation and removal, reducing damage to the connector and cable.
Are the connectors gold-plated?
Yes, the RJ45 connectors feature gold-plated contacts, which provide improved corrosion resistance and more reliable connections compared to standard plating.
Is this cable suitable for outdoor installation?
This is an unshielded UTP cable designed for indoor use in office and data centre environments. For outdoor applications, consult with your IT provider about shielded or outdoor-rated alternatives.
What is the maximum recommended cable run length for CAT6?
CAT6 cables are rated for reliable performance up to 100 metres per cable run. This 20-metre cable is well within recommended distance specifications.
