Overview
- The 8Ware CAT6A 0.25m Ethernet patch cable delivers high-speed network connectivity with full copper core construction. Unlike cheaper CCA (Copper Clad Aluminium) alternatives, 8Ware cables comply with Australian regulations and deliver superior signal strength and durability.
This CAT6A cable is engineered to support modern network speeds up to 10Gbps, making it suitable for current and future network infrastructure. The snagless RJ45 connectors protect against accidental damage during installation and use, whilst the robust jacket provides excellent shielding against interference.
At 0.25m length, this patch cable is ideal for short runs in network cabinets, between adjacent equipment, or in confined spaces. The blue colour provides visual identification for easy network management and troubleshooting.

FAQs
What is the difference between CAT6A and regular CAT6 cables?
CAT6A cables support higher speeds (up to 10Gbps) compared to CAT6 (1Gbps). CAT6A offers better shielding and improved performance for demanding network environments and future-proofing.
Why is full copper better than CCA (Copper Clad Aluminium)?
Full copper cores provide superior conductivity, signal strength and reliability. CCA cables are cheaper but do not meet Australian standards and may pose connectivity and safety risks.
Can I use this 0.25m cable for all network devices?
Yes, the CAT6A standard is backward compatible. This cable can connect computers, switches, routers, modems, gaming consoles, media players and other standard network equipment.
What does 'snagless' mean?
Snagless connectors have a protective boot that prevents the clip from catching on cables or equipment during installation and removal, reducing the risk of damage.
Is this cable suitable for 10Gbps networks?
Yes, CAT6A cables are rated to support speeds up to 10Gbps, making them ideal for high-speed network infrastructure and future network upgrades.
What warranty does the 8Ware CAT6A cable come with?
The 8Ware CAT6A cable includes a 12-month manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship.
