FAQs
What is the difference between CAT6 and other cable categories?
CAT6 cables support data transfer speeds up to 10 Gigabit Ethernet and offer improved crosstalk and noise rejection compared to CAT5e. They are suitable for modern business networks requiring higher bandwidth and multi-gigabit protocols.
What does snagless mean?
Snagless refers to a protective boot design around the RJ45 connector that prevents the connector clip from snagging or breaking during installation, handling, or removal.
Are gold-plated contacts better than standard contacts?
Yes. Gold-plated contacts provide superior corrosion resistance, improved conductivity, and longer-term reliability compared to standard plated contacts, making them ideal for permanent installations.
Is this cable suitable for my office network?
Yes. The Astrotek CAT6 patch cable is ideal for office networks, workstation connections, and standard business data, voice, and video applications.
What does 26AWG mean?
26AWG (American Wire Gauge) refers to the conductor thickness. Thicker 24AWG conductors offer lower resistance, while 26AWG is standard for patch cables and delivers reliable performance for typical network runs.
Can I use this cable outdoors?
This is an unshielded UTP cable designed for indoor use. For outdoor or exposed applications, consider shielded cables or cables specifically rated for external environments.
