Frequently Asked Questions
Is this cable actually certified to Cat 6 standards?
It meets or exceeds Category 6 performance according to the TIA/EIA 568-C.2 standard, with a 550MHz bandwidth rating beyond baseline Cat 6.
Can it power devices like security cameras over the cable?
Yes — it supports PoE, PoE+, and PoE++, so IP cameras, VoIP phones, and wireless access points can draw power through the same run.
Will it work with my older Cat 5 network equipment?
Yes — it is fully backward compatible with existing Cat 5 cable networks while being ready for 10-Gigabit Ethernet when you upgrade.
What does the snagless design actually protect against?
The strain-relief boots cover the RJ45 release tabs, preventing snags and breakage when pulling the cable through walls, racks, or furniture.
How should I choose between the 25-foot length and a longer run?
Measure the full path including furniture and corners, as Cable Matters advises — adding a few feet of margin avoids coming up short mid-route.
