Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is this cable suitable for Power over Ethernet (PoE)?

A: Yes, Cat6 cables like the ERT-600K support PoE applications, but confirm your devices’ power requirements.

Q: Can I use this cable outdoors?

A: No, the PVC jacket is designed for indoor use only. Outdoor installations require weather-resistant cabling.

Q: What is the difference between U/UTP and STP cables?

A: U/UTP has no shielding, while STP includes shielding to reduce interference in noisy environments.

Q: Is this cable backward compatible with older network standards?

A: Yes, it works with Cat5e and Cat5 networks, though you’ll only get the performance of those older standards.

Q: How flexible is the cable for tight spaces?

A: The 24 AWG construction offers good flexibility for most installations, but avoid sharp bends to maintain signal quality.
