Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this cable shielded?

No, this is a U/UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) cable, which is standard for most office and residential networking applications.

Does this cable support Gigabit speeds?

Yes, as a Category 6 cable, it is designed to support 10/100/1000 Mbps and higher data transmission rates.

Can I use this for outdoor applications?

No, this cable is intended for indoor use. The PVC jacket is not rated for UV exposure or harsh weather conditions.

What does the 24AWG rating mean?

AWG stands for American Wire Gauge; 24AWG refers to the thickness of the copper conductors inside the cable, which is standard for flexible, high-performance patch leads.

Will this work with older Cat5 equipment?

Yes, Cat6 cables are backward compatible with Cat5 and Cat5e devices and networking standards.

Troubleshooting

Intermittent network connectivity

Ensure both RJ45 connectors are fully seated and 'clicked' into their respective ports; check for any sharp kinks in the cable length.

Device failing to power via PoE

Verify that your network switch port is configured for PoE++ and that the connected device is compatible with the power output provided.

Slow transfer speeds

Test the cable with a network cable tester to ensure all eight internal conductors are intact; check for nearby sources of heavy electrical interference.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Certified for high-speed network installations
  • Supports modern PoE++ power requirements
  • Durable flush-moulded design provides excellent strain relief
  • Reliable gold-plated contact points for consistent connectivity
  • Flexible 24AWG stranded design eases installation

Cons

  • Non-shielded (U/UTP) design may be susceptible to heavy EMI in industrial environments
  • 8m length may create clutter if not managed with cable ties
  • Not intended for outdoor burial or exposure to extreme UV

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure peak performance, avoid bending the cable beyond its natural radius or crimping it near the RJ45 connectors, as this can degrade internal wire pairs over time. When installing, use Velcro straps rather than tight plastic zip ties to bundle the 8m length, as over-tightening can deform the cable and lead to signal attenuation. This cable is fully compatible with standard RJ45 ports found on computers, game consoles, and enterprise-grade networking equipment. To clean the cable, use a soft, dry cloth; do not use harsh solvents or abrasive cleaners on the PVC jacket or the RJ45 connectors.
