Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the difference between Cat6 and Cat6A network cables?

A: Cat6 cables support speeds up to 1Gbps at 250MHz over 100 metres, while Cat6A (Augmented Category 6) cables support up to 10Gbps at 500MHz over the same distance. Cat6A cables feature improved shielding and are the preferred choice for high-speed, future-proof network installations in offices, data centres, and NAS environments.

Q: Do I need shielded (STP) RJ45 connectors or will unshielded (UTP) work?

A: Shielded STP RJ45 connectors are recommended in environments with high electromagnetic interference (EMI), such as near industrial equipment, electrical panels, or in server rooms. For standard home or small office networks with minimal interference, unshielded UTP connectors are typically sufficient. Our gold-plated STP connectors provide the best of both worlds — reliable signal integrity and corrosion resistance.

Q: Can I use a USB-C to RJ45 Ethernet adapter with any device?

A: Our USB-C and Micro USB to RJ45 Ethernet adapters are compatible with most Android smartphones, tablets, and laptops that support USB OTG (On-The-Go) or USB-C data/video modes. They provide a stable 100Mbps wired connection, ideal for situations where Wi-Fi is unavailable or unreliable. Always check your device's USB specification to confirm OTG support.

Q: What does an IP68 waterproof RJ45 coupler protect against?

A: An IP68-rated RJ45 coupler is fully protected against dust ingress and continuous submersion in water beyond 1 metre, making it suitable for outdoor installations, underground conduit runs, CCTV systems, and marine environments. Our IP68 couplers are designed for Cat5e and Cat6 cables and maintain full gigabit network performance even in harsh conditions.

Q: Will a PCIe 10G network card work in my existing desktop or NAS?

A: Yes — our PCIe 10G network cards, such as the X540-T2, are designed to fit standard PCIe x8 or x16 slots found in most modern desktop motherboards and NAS enclosures. They are compatible with Windows, Linux, and major NAS operating systems. Ensure your switch or router also supports 10G speeds to take full advantage of the card's bandwidth capabilities.
