Frequently Asked Questions

Cat6 supports up to 10Gbps at distances up to 55 metres and is suitable for most office environments. Cat6a supports 10Gbps at the full 100 metres and is recommended for new installations, data centres, and future-proofing. Cat6a costs slightly more but provides better shielding and longevity.

Colour coding is a best practice for organised networks. A common scheme uses blue for data, yellow for PoE devices (cameras, APs), red for servers, and green for VoIP phones. We stock patch cords in multiple colours to support your colour-coding system.

Yes, we stock Cat6 and Cat6a bulk cables in boxes suitable for structured cabling installations. We also carry outdoor-rated cables with UV-resistant jackets for external cable runs in Australian conditions.

Choose a patch panel that matches your cable category (Cat6 or Cat6a) and port count. Our 24-port and 48-port patch panels fit standard 19-inch racks. Angled patch panels improve cable management by directing cables to the side, reducing congestion.

The maximum distance for a single ethernet cable run (including patch cords) is 100 metres as per TIA/EIA standards. This applies to Cat5e, Cat6, and Cat6a cables. For longer distances, use fiber optic cable or a network switch as a repeater.
