FAQs
What is the difference between 8Ware CAT6A cables and cheaper CCA alternatives?
8Ware cables are constructed with a full copper core, which meets Australian standards and regulations. Cheaper CCA (Copper Clad Aluminium) cables do not comply with Australian standards and may present safety and performance risks. Full copper construction ensures superior signal strength, durability, and reliability.
What speeds does this CAT6A cable support?
The 8Ware CAT6A cable supports network speeds of 10Mbps, 100Mbps, 1000Mbps (1Gbps), and up to 10Gbps, making it suitable for both legacy and modern high-speed networks.
Is the 0.5 metre length suitable for my installation?
The 0.5 metre (50cm) length is ideal for short-distance connections, such as connecting devices within network racks, tight spaces, or close-proximity setups. For longer distances, 8Ware offers other cable lengths.
What does 'snagless' mean?
Snagless connectors feature a protective boot around the RJ45 connector that prevents the locking tab from catching or breaking during insertion and removal. This makes installation safer and extends cable lifespan.
Can I use this cable for gaming consoles and media players?
Yes, the CAT6A cable is suitable for connecting gaming consoles, media players, and other network devices to your modem, router, or switch for reliable network connectivity.
Does this cable come with a warranty?
Yes, the 8Ware CAT6A cable includes a 12-month warranty covering manufacturing defects.
What makes 8Ware cables more robust than competitors?
8Ware cables are constructed using more robust materials, including full copper cores and superior shielding, which provide better protection, stronger signal transmission, and greater resistance to physical damage.
