FAQs
What's the difference between ultra-thin CAT6 and standard CAT6 cables?
Ultra-thin CAT6 cables have a reduced diameter while maintaining full Category 6 performance specifications. They're designed for high-density installations where space is limited, such as patch panels and cable trays, without compromising on speed or reliability.
Can this cable support 10-Gigabit Ethernet?
Yes. The 8ware CAT6 cable supports 10-Gigabit Ethernet with its 250MHz performance capability, making it suitable for modern network infrastructure requiring higher bandwidth.
Why are the connectors gold-plated?
Gold-plating provides superior corrosion resistance and improves electrical conductivity. This ensures reliable connections over time and reduces signal degradation, particularly important in critical network environments.
Is this cable suitable for data centres?
Yes. The ultra-thin design, Fluke-tested quality, and high-density cable management capability make it ideal for data centre patch panels and server room installations.
What does Fluke tested mean?
Fluke testing verifies that the cable meets performance standards for signal integrity, attenuation, and crosstalk. It's an independent certification that confirms the cable's quality and reliability.
What standards does this cable comply with?
The cable complies with ISO/IEC 11801 Category 6 and TIA/EIA-568-C.2 standards, and meets or exceeds Australian industry requirements for network cabling.
