Overview
- The Astrotek CAT6 Ethernet Patch Cable is a professional-grade network cable designed to handle modern business networking demands. With its 10-metre length and CAT6 specification, it supports multi-gigabit data transfer rates suitable for contemporary office environments, data centres, and high-performance network applications.
Features include gold-plated RJ45 connectors that ensure reliable contact and minimal signal loss, combined with 26AWG pure copper conductors for excellent electrical performance. The snagless boot design protects the connector during installation, reducing the risk of damage and cable failure in busy network environments.
Ideal for businesses upgrading existing network infrastructure or establishing new connectivity between network devices, servers, and workstations. The cable's UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) construction provides a cost-effective solution for standard office and commercial network installations where shielding is not required.

FAQs
What is the maximum distance a CAT6 cable can transmit?
CAT6 cables are certified for reliable transmission up to 100 metres. This 10-metre patch cable is well-suited for standard office and rack installations within typical distance limits.
What does 'snagless' design mean?
The snagless boot is a protective covering on the RJ45 connector that prevents the clip from catching on cable trays, racks, or other equipment during installation and removal. This reduces the risk of connector damage and cable failure.
Is this cable suitable for gigabit networks?
Yes. CAT6 cables are rated for gigabit Ethernet and support multi-gigabit data transfer, making them ideal for modern business networks and data centres.
What is the difference between UTP and shielded cables?
UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) cables are cost-effective and suitable for standard office environments. Shielded cables offer additional protection against electromagnetic interference and are typically used in industrial or high-noise environments.
Can I use this cable for PoE (Power over Ethernet) devices?
Yes. CAT6 cables support Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications, allowing you to power compatible devices such as IP cameras, access points, and VoIP phones through the same cable as data.
Is a 10-metre cable long enough for my office?
A 10-metre cable is suitable for most office desk-to-switch or desktop-to-wall connections. For longer runs, consider cable runs through walls or ceiling cavities, or use longer cable lengths if required.
