Cat5e Snagless Unshielded (U/UTP) PVC 16ft (4.9m) Ethernet Network Patch Cable, Gray

Key attributes

The molded, snagless boot prevents unwanted cable snags during installation and provides extra strain relief.It exceeds the performance of the Cat5e Ethernet network cable standard and offers the cost-effective solution for indoor Gigabit Ethernet data center applications, supporting up to 1000Mbps and 250MHz within 100 meters of cable. Stranded copper patch cable can be used with a longer flex-life. Tested and verified to meet Cat5e component requirements for ANSI/TIA-568.2-D and ISO/IEC 11801 standards. The cable supports PoE to save you the expense and effort of powering PoE devices individually. You can also install PoE devices in locations distant from power outlets, such as high on walls, ceilings or poles.

FAQ

Q1: What are the differences between Cat5e, Cat6, and Cat6a? Which one should an enterprise choose?
A1: Cat5e supports speeds of up to 1Gb and is suitable for standard office networks; Cat6 supports 10Gb (over short distances) and offers superior interference resistance; Cat6a provides 10Gb transmission over a full distance of 100 meters, making it ideal for server rooms and high-density environments. For general enterprise office networks, Cat6 is typically sufficient.

Q2: Can Cat6 network cables support 10Gbps? What is the maximum distance?
A2: Cat6 can support 10Gb, but the transmission distance is recommended to be kept within 55 meters; exceeding this limit may result in signal attenuation.

Q3: Which should enterprises choose: "Pure Copper" or "CCA" network cables?
A3: Pure Copper cables offer superior conductivity and durability, making them suitable for long-term enterprise cabling installations; CCA (Copper-Clad Aluminum) cables are inexpensive but suffer from poorer performance and durability, and are therefore not recommended for critical network applications.

Q4: Does the length of a network cable affect network speed?
A4: Cat5e supports a maximum length of 100 meters, while Cat6 supports 10Gbps over a maximum distance of 55 meters. Exceeding these standard lengths may lead to signal attenuation and a reduction in network speed.

Q5: Is it important to ensure compatibility between network cables, switches, and routers?
A5: It is extremely important. The category rating of the network cable should match the speed capabilities of the connected devices; otherwise, the network will be unable to achieve its full performance potential.
