About this deal
Argos Limited is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority as a credit broker (713206), and works exclusively with the lender, Home Retail Group Card Services Limited trading as Argos Card and Argos Financial Services, who are authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority to provide credit (716148). Network cables are divided into categories based mainly on bandwidth (measured in MHz), maximum data rate (measured in megabits per second) and shielding. Different Ethernet network cables have specific Cable run limitations, at which they can perform at their optimum capacity.
Cat6 cables are sometimes shielded, though retailers often aren’t clear when they are and aren’t, and Cat5e cables never have shielding.If the wires are the same on each end (regardless of which pin configuration is used), it is a "straight-through" cable. The environmental conditions in which the cable is installed, the design of the cable, and the ethernet cable length can have a significant impact on its speed. It can reflect the signal and even create a dead-zone several meters away from the mesh where the direct and reflected signal cancel each other out. Most cables will remain operational when the surrounding temperature is between -40 and 167 F (-40 to 75 C) which is within the range where humans can remain alive. Also, if you frequently move big files between computers or stream extremely high-bandwidth video, a better Ethernet cable can make a huge difference.
Cat 7 cables reach up to 100Gbps at a range of 15 meters, making them one of the most capable categories of Ethernet cables. These are high-performance ethernet networking cables with applications in data centers and corporate server rooms. PoLRE stands for Power over Long Reach Ethernet, a specialized Ethernet switch setup that’s used for especially long cable runs, like over 1,000 feet.Cat5e is not an official designation but is used by manufacturers to describe an enhanced Cat5 cable that is capable of speeds up to 1 Gbps. There’s interference, bandwidth limitations, overhead and so on which will heavily impact your network speed. GG45 connectors have 12 pins in total, 8 providing backwards compatibility with Cat6, and an additional 4 pins providing support for frequencies of up to 600MHz. This switch could push a PoE+ connection up to 656 feet, although the speed would have been severely limited (10Mbps full duplex).
