Overview
- The 8Ware CAT6 Ethernet Cable is a premium 0.25m patch cord engineered for reliable, high-speed network connectivity. Unlike cheaper alternatives using Copper Clad Aluminium (CCA), this cable features genuine full copper construction that meets Australian standards and regulatory requirements.
This cable supports network speeds from 10Mbps through to 10Gbps, making it suitable for both legacy and modern network infrastructure. The robust construction, enhanced shielding, and quality RJ45 connectors ensure superior signal strength, reduced signal loss, and better protection against interference and physical damage.
The 0.25m length makes this cable ideal for short-distance connections where space is limited, such as patch panels, server racks, and closely positioned network equipment. It's a reliable choice for businesses and IT professionals who require consistent network performance without compromising on build quality.

FAQs
What is the difference between 8Ware CAT6 cables and CCA alternatives?
8Ware CAT6 cables feature full copper construction that complies with Australian standards. CCA (Copper Clad Aluminium) cables are cheaper alternatives that do not meet Australian regulations and may present safety risks. Copper construction provides superior conductivity, signal strength, and durability.
Is this cable suitable for 10Gbps networks?
Yes, this CAT6 cable supports network speeds up to 10Gbps, making it compatible with modern high-speed network infrastructure as well as legacy 10Mbps and 100Mbps networks.
What does the 0.25m length mean and where would I use it?
The 0.25m length equals 25 centimetres, making this a short patch cable ideal for connecting equipment that is close together, such as patching between network switches, routers, and nearby devices in server rooms or data centres.
What does 26AWG mean?
26AWG (American Wire Gauge) refers to the wire thickness. It is a standard gauge for CAT6 cables and provides the appropriate balance of flexibility and conductivity for network patch cords.
Can I use this cable for internet connections?
Yes, this cable can be used to connect computers, gaming consoles, media players, and other network devices to modems, routers, switches, and network equipment for internet and local network connectivity.
Is this cable suitable for office and server environments?
Yes, the robust construction, full copper core, and superior shielding make it ideal for both office networks and professional server room installations where reliable connectivity is critical.
What warranty does this cable come with?
The 8Ware CAT6 cable includes a 12-month warranty against manufacturing defects.
