FAQs
What is the difference between Cat8 and Cat6a?
Cat8 supports much higher bandwidth (up to 2GHz) and faster data transfer speeds (up to 40 Gigabit) compared to Cat6a, which supports up to 500MHz and 10 Gigabit.
Is the Duronic Cat8 cable compatible with my existing devices?
Yes, it is backward compatible with Cat6a, Cat6, and Cat5e. However, you will only achieve Cat8 speeds if your devices also support the Cat8 standard.
How long is the cable?
The Duronic Cat8 cable is available in multiple lengths, including 10 meters.
What is S/FTP shielding?
S/FTP shielding means the cable has an overall braided shield and individual foil shields around each pair of wires, providing superior protection against electromagnetic interference.
Can I use this cable outdoors?
This cable is designed for indoor use. Outdoor conditions may affect its performance and lifespan.
Are the connectors gold-plated?
Yes, the RJ45 connectors are gold-plated for better conductivity and corrosion resistance.
What colors are available?
The Duronic Cat8 Ethernet cable is available in black.
How do I clean the cable?
Use a dry cloth to gently wipe the cable.
Troubleshooting
Slow internet speed or no connection
Check the cable connections at both ends. Ensure the cable is securely plugged into your devices and router. Test with a different cable to rule out a cable issue. Verify that your network devices are capable of supporting the cable's specifications.
Intermittent connection drops
Check for any physical damage to the cable. Ensure the cable is not bent sharply. Make sure there is no interference from other electrical devices.
Cannot establish a connection
Check the network settings on your devices. Restart your router and devices. Test the connection with another device to identify if the issue lies with the cable or the device.
