If you need cable that long, better buy a roll and crimp it yourself
10M cables are cheap compared to roll, tools, parts ????
Not actually cat6. Only supports 1gbe and not 10gbe. Read description on the link!
Eh, honestly I'd be more focused on our being CAT6 than if they mention 10G or not. On a site like Kogan with a non technical average user, advertising it as up to 10Gbit would just invite complaints from people not understanding that none of their equipment can go that fast.
There’s a hot forum post of someone who expected this to meet 10gbe and it didn’t. Just because the packaging says duck, but it looks, smells and taste like chicken doesn’t make it a duck.
Where does it say in the description it doesn’t support 10GBE? It just says that it’s suited to 1000base-t.
“… this cable meets the CAT6 Ethernet network cable standard and can support Ethernet speeds of up to 1 gigabit per second.”
"Unlike CAT5 technology, CAT6 cables fully use all four pairs of twisted copper wires for greater bandwidth and speed"???
Makes people to believe CAT5 has lower bandwidth and speed, which is not true especially in short runs.
Well they are 100% right.
I wouldn't even bother trying to use CAT5 for gigabit. Yeah, it might work, but good chance that it'll be intermittent at best, especially if there is any close by mains voltage power leads in parallel.
CAT5e on the other hand, yeah no probs. But they were taking any CAT5, not CAT5e.
with E or not with E - that's rather irrelevant question as just CAT5 cables almost not sold anymore. Lots of companies sell CAT5e as CAT5 to make it simple as an average user wouldn't ask for E specifically.
I'd rather 2 x 10m
