Frequently Asked Questions
What is the primary difference between UTP and STP Ethernet cables?
UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) cables, like these, are common for general office use and are flexible. STP (Shielded Twisted Pair) cables offer additional protection against electromagnetic interference, typically used in environments with high electrical noise.
Can these CAT6 cables support Power over Ethernet (PoE) devices?
Yes, these StarTech.com CAT6 cables are built with 100% copper conductors, which are essential for reliably delivering power to PoE-enabled devices such as IP cameras, VoIP phones, and wireless access points without excessive heat buildup.
Are these cables suitable for in-wall installations?
These cables have a CMG (CM) cable rating, which means they are suitable for general purpose use and can be installed in walls. However, for plenum spaces, a CMP (plenum-rated) cable would be required to meet specific fire safety codes.
What is the significance of the ETL verification for these cables?
ETL verification confirms that these cables have been independently tested and meet ANSI/TIA 568 C.2 Category 6 performance standards. This ensures consistent network speed and reliability, reducing the risk of connectivity issues in your infrastructure.
