FAQs
What is the difference between CAT6 and other Ethernet cable types?
CAT6 cables are designed for higher performance than CAT5e, supporting data transfer rates up to 10 Gbps over shorter distances (up to 55m). They feature tighter twist ratios and improved shielding characteristics, making them ideal for modern networks and data centre environments.
Is this cable suitable for gigabit networks?
Yes. The Astrotek CAT6 cable fully supports gigabit Ethernet (1 Gbps) and multi-gigabit protocols, making it suitable for standard business networks and high-performance installations.
What does 'snagless' mean?
Snagless refers to a protective boot around the RJ45 connector that prevents the locking clip from catching on cables or equipment during installation and removal. This reduces damage and makes cables easier to work with in tight spaces.
Why are the connectors gold-plated?
Gold plating provides superior corrosion resistance and improves signal integrity by reducing oxidation and contact resistance over time, ensuring reliable connections in professional environments.
Can I use this cable for Power over Ethernet (PoE) devices?
Yes. CAT6 cables support Power over Ethernet applications and can deliver both data and power to compatible devices such as IP cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP phones.
What is the warranty period?
Astrotek provides a 12-month manufacturer's warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship.
