What to Look for When Purchasing Ethernet Cable
Selecting quality cable is always the best option. With the variants available in the ethernet cable market, it’s sometimes difficult to know what quality cable is and why it’s the better option. Datamaster® ethernet cable is quality and we don’t believe in lowering our quality to be the cheapest in the market. We do believe in being competitively priced. We’ve compiled a guide to what to look for when purchasing ethernet cable and why Datamaster® is the quality choice.
1. Conductor Material: 100% Pure, Oxygen-Free Copper
- Anything less than 100% copper is not compliant for registered cablers, including copper-clad steel (CCS) or copper-clad aluminium (CCA).
- ‘Pure’ and ‘oxygen-free’ are terms that refer to the copper not being recycled and reused.
- Anything less than 100% pure, oxygen-free copper will give intermittent signal and performance.
- Datamaster® complies with Australian requirements for customer cabling products (RCM).
- Datamaster® is also RoHS compliant (EU Restriction of Hazardous Substances) and verified to exceed ISO/IEC11801 standards (International I.T. requirements).
2. Verified Performance Standards
Datamaster® is manufactured to exceed data performance standards. Exceeding the standard:
- Allows for fluctuations in environmental (site) factors including installation and interference issues.
- Cables that only just meet the standards in a controlled lab environment will often falter post-installation.
- All Datamaster® Ethernet cable is FLUKE® tested for verified performance.
3. Lifetime Warranty & Guarantee
Datamaster® guarantees the performance standards are exceeded and offers a limited lifetime warranty.
- Datamaster® performance standards are verified, which is why we can guarantee the performance.
