FAQs
What is the maximum distance a CAT6 cable can run?
CAT6 cables can reliably transmit data up to 100 metres. For runs beyond this distance, signal repeaters or additional network equipment may be required.
Is this cable suitable for gigabit Ethernet?
Yes. The Astrotek CAT6 supports gigabit Ethernet and multi-gigabit protocols, making it ideal for modern high-speed networks.
What does 'snagless' mean?
A snagless design features a protective boot around the RJ45 connector that prevents the latch from catching on cables or equipment during installation and removal.
What's the difference between CAT6 and CAT5e?
CAT6 offers higher bandwidth (up to 250 MHz) compared to CAT5e (100 MHz), enabling faster data transmission rates and better performance in demanding network environments.
Can I use this cable outdoors?
This is an indoor UTP cable. For outdoor applications, please use outdoor-rated cables with appropriate shielding and UV-resistant jackets.
Is the warranty Australia-wide?
Yes. The 12-month warranty covers manufacturing defects and applies to customers across Australia.
