FAQs
What is the difference between 8Ware CAT6 cables and cheaper CCA alternatives?
8Ware CAT6 cables use full copper core construction, which meets Australian standards and regulations. Cheaper Copper Clad Aluminium (CCA) cables do not comply with Australian standards and can be potentially dangerous. 8Ware's copper construction ensures superior signal strength, better protection, and greater durability.
What network speeds does this CAT6 cable support?
The 8Ware CAT6 Cable supports networks running at 10Mbps, 100Mbps, 1Gbps, and 10Gbps, making it suitable for both legacy and modern high-speed network infrastructure.
Is 20 metres long enough for my office setup?
20 metres is suitable for most office environments and home networks. For longer distances or complex routing, you may require additional cable or active network equipment. Consider your specific layout and network topology when determining length requirements.
What do snagless connectors do?
Snagless connectors feature a protective boot that prevents accidental snagging or catching on cable management equipment. This protects the connector from damage and reduces the risk of unwanted disconnection during installation or when cables are moved.
Can I use this cable for outdoor installations?
This cable is designed for indoor use. For outdoor applications, consult the product documentation or contact Hyetech Australia for appropriate weatherproof cable options.
What is the warranty coverage on this cable?
The 8Ware CAT6 Cable includes a 12-month warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship from the date of purchase.
Is this cable suitable for gaming or streaming?
Yes. With support for speeds up to 10Gbps, this cable provides more than sufficient bandwidth for gaming, streaming, and online media applications, ensuring stable and lag-free performance.
What is 26AWG and why does it matter?
26AWG (American Wire Gauge) refers to the wire thickness. Thicker gauge wire (lower AWG number) provides better signal integrity and reduced interference over longer distances. 26AWG is the standard for CAT6 cables and ensures reliable performance.
