Q1: What is U/UTP Cable?
A1: U/UTP stands for Unshielded / Unshielded Twisted Pair. It contains four twisted pairs without additional shielding and is suitable for most indoor network installations.
Q2: Is this cable made of pure copper?
A2: Yes. We use 100% oxygen-free bare copper conductors. No CCA material is used in our standard OFC series.
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.
