FAQs
What is the difference between 8Ware CAT6 cables and cheaper CCA alternatives?
8Ware cables use full copper core construction, which meets Australian standards and delivers superior signal integrity. Cheaper CCA (Copper Clad Aluminium) cables do not meet Australian regulations and offer inferior performance. All 8Ware cables are engineered with robust materials for better protection and signal strength.
Is this cable suitable for 10Gbps networks?
Yes. The 8Ware CAT6 cable supports network speeds up to 10Gbps, making it suitable for high-speed modern networks as well as legacy 10Mbps and 100Mbps installations.
What does 'snagless' mean?
Snagless connectors have a protective collar that prevents the latch from catching on cables during installation. This reduces the risk of accidental damage and makes the cable easier to handle in tight spaces.
Can I use this 40m cable for outdoor installations?
The 8Ware CAT6 cable is designed for indoor use. For outdoor applications, we recommend consulting with our sales team for appropriate outdoor-rated alternatives.
