FAQs
What is the difference between CAT6A and CAT6 cables?
CAT6A cables support faster speeds (up to 10Gbps) compared to CAT6 cables (up to 1Gbps). CAT6A offers better shielding and is recommended for high-speed network installations and future-proofing.
Why is full copper core important?
Full copper core construction provides superior conductivity and signal strength compared to cheaper Copper Clad Aluminium (CCA) alternatives. CCA cables do not meet Australian standards and can be unreliable for critical networks.
What does 'snagless' mean?
Snagless connectors feature a protective boot that prevents the clip from catching or breaking during installation and removal. This increases durability and reduces network downtime.
Can I use this cable for 10Gbps networks?
Yes. This CAT6A cable is rated for speeds up to 10Gbps, making it suitable for high-speed network applications and future upgrades.
Is this cable suitable for gaming and streaming?
Yes. The CAT6A specification and robust shielding make it ideal for gaming consoles, media streaming devices, and other bandwidth-intensive applications requiring stable, fast connectivity.
What warranty does this cable include?
This 8Ware cable includes a 12-month manufacturer's warranty covering defects in material and workmanship.
