FAQs
What is CAT5e and what speeds does it support?
CAT5e (Category 5 Enhanced) supports Ethernet connections up to 1 Gbps (1000 Mbps) over distances up to 100 metres. It is suitable for standard office networks, small to medium business applications, and non-demanding video streaming.
Why choose a 25cm cable?
A 25cm patch cord is ideal for short-distance connections in equipment racks, server cabinets, and densely packed network environments where space is limited and cable management is critical.
What does UTP mean?
UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) means the cable has twisted copper pairs inside a protective jacket but no additional electromagnetic shielding. It is suitable for most standard office and small business network environments.
Is this cable suitable for PoE (Power over Ethernet) devices?
CAT5e cables can support PoE applications. However, confirm the specific power requirements of your device and consult the manufacturer's recommendations for compatibility with higher-power PoE+ standards.
Can I use this cable for outdoor installations?
This cable is designed for indoor use. For outdoor installations, use outdoor-rated cables with appropriate UV and weather protection. Consult 8ware's product range for outdoor-suitable alternatives.
How does 26AWG conductor gauge affect performance?
26AWG copper conductors provide good signal integrity and are standard for CAT5e cables. The thicker the gauge, the lower the resistance; however, 26AWG is appropriate for the 25cm length and standard Ethernet applications.
