Frequently Asked Questions
What is the primary difference between Cat5e and Cat6 cable?
Cat6 cable, like this StarTech.com model, supports higher bandwidth up to 500 MHz and faster data transfer rates of 1000 Mbit/s (Gigabit Ethernet) over longer distances compared to Cat5e, which is typically rated for 100 MHz and 1000 Mbit/s over shorter runs. This makes Cat6 more suitable for future-proofing business networks.
Can this bulk cable be used for outdoor installations?
No, this StarTech.com Cat6 cable has a CMG (CM) rated PVC jacket, which is designed for general purpose indoor use in walls, floors, and non-plenum spaces. It is not rated for outdoor exposure or direct burial.
What type of connectors are compatible with this bulk cable?
This bulk Cat6 cable is designed to be terminated with standard RJ45 connectors or keystone jacks that are specifically rated for Cat6 performance. Using Cat6-rated connectors ensures the integrity of the Gigabit signal.
Is this cable suitable for Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications?
Yes, this 24 AWG Cat6 cable is suitable for standard Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications, providing both data and power to compatible devices like IP cameras or VoIP phones, simplifying network deployments.
