Which cable do I need?
You can use this step-by-step guide to determining which cable is right for you.
Please choose whether you intend to run any part of the cable outdoors.
Will the cable be used in an area of high electromagnetic interference (such as in a mechanical workshop or machine room)?
Do you require a Category 6 (Cat6) cable? (If your specification does not mention Category 6, then please select "No")
Do you require a Stranded Core ("Patch") cable?
Stranded Core cables
are more durable and more flexible than solid core, but more expensive.
They are typically used for shorter runs - up to 30 metres.
The cable type which you have chosen is available in the following range of colours. The choice of colour does not affect the price. Please choose one of these colours for your cable.
Would you prefer a cable with strain-relief boots?
Fitted plastic strain-relief boots will help to prolong the life of your
cable. We recommend that you choose "Yes" here, unless you have a
specific reason not to have them fitted.
Please specify the length of your cable in metres.
(approx.
feet)
Note that lengths can be specified to a 0.1m accuracy in the main form, should that be required. The length as specified here is the complete length of the cable, including the plugs.
Please indicate which equipment will be connected to one end of the cable.
Please indicate which equipment will be connected to the other end of the cable.
