FAQs
What's the difference between 8ware CAT6 cables and cheaper CCA alternatives?
8ware cables use full copper core construction, which meets Australian regulatory standards and delivers superior signal strength and EMI protection. Cheaper CCA (Copper Clad Aluminium) cables do not meet Australian standards and are potentially unsafe. Full copper provides better conductivity, durability, and long-term reliability.
Is a 0.25m cable suitable for my network setup?
Yes, 0.25m cables are ideal for short-run connections such as connecting devices to nearby switches, routers, or patch panels. They're particularly useful in space-constrained environments like server rooms and desktop setups. For longer distances, consider longer cable lengths.
What network speeds does this CAT6 cable support?
The 8ware CAT6 cable supports all standard network speeds: 10Mbps, 100Mbps, 1000Mbps (Gigabit), and up to 10Gbps. This makes it suitable for modern networks and future-proofs your installation.
Can I use this cable for connecting gaming consoles and media players?
Yes. The 8ware CAT6 cable can connect computers, game consoles, TV, media players, and other network-enabled devices to modems, routers, switches, and network infrastructure.
Why is the cable yellow, and does colour matter?
The yellow PVC jacket aids cable identification and colour-coded organisation, making it easier for IT professionals to manage networks and identify connections at a glance. Colour coding is a best practice in network administration.
Is there a warranty on this cable?
Yes, the 8ware CAT6 cable comes with a 12-month manufacturer warranty, providing peace of mind on your investment.
What is the 26AWG conductor gauge, and why does it matter?
26AWG (American Wire Gauge) refers to the thickness of the copper conductor. A 26AWG conductor in a CAT6 cable provides robust signal transmission, good flexibility, and reliable performance for standard network applications.
