Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How much does Cat6 ethernet cable cost in Uganda?
Cat6 ethernet cable prices in Uganda at NetEdge Supplies range from UGX 5,000 for 1m up to UGX 75,000 for 30m. Specifically: 1m–3m costs UGX 5,000–15,000; 5m–10m costs UGX 20,000–35,000; and 15m–30m costs UGX 40,000–75,000. Contact us for bulk ISP pricing and delivery across Kampala and East Africa.
What is the difference between SFTP and UTP Cat6 cable?
SFTP (Screened Foiled Twisted Pair) Cat6 cable has an additional metallic foil shield around the twisted pairs, which significantly reduces crosstalk and electromagnetic interference (EMI) — making it ideal for server rooms, industrial environments, and ISP PoPs where multiple cables run in parallel. UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) Cat6 like the Dutevolns Cat6 UTP Cable is lighter and more flexible, suitable for standard home and office runs.
Can I use this Cat6 cable for PoE (Power over Ethernet)?
Yes. This Cat6 cable uses 26AWG pure copper conductors which provide reliable PoE power delivery for access points, IP cameras, and VoIP phones. Pair it with the MikroTik RBGPOE Gigabit PoE Injector for a complete PoE solution. Pure copper is preferred over CCA for PoE runs as it delivers better power efficiency over distance.
What length of Cat6 cable should I buy for my setup?
Choose your length based on the distance between your devices: 1m–3m for desktop/router patch connections; 5m–10m for room-to-room runs; 15m–30m for long office or structured cabling runs. For outdoor or building-to-building runs beyond 30m, see our Cat6 Outdoor Ethernet Cable (250ft / 76m). Cat6 supports gigabit speeds up to 100m per segment.
Is Cat6 cable compatible with my existing Cat5e network equipment?
Yes. Cat6 is fully backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat5 equipment including routers, switches, patch panels, and NICs. Upgrading to Cat6 gives you more bandwidth headroom (250 MHz vs 100 MHz), better noise rejection, and future-proofing for 10Gbps short-run applications. For 10Gbps patching, see the Cat6 Shielded 10Gbps Cable.
