Overview
- The 8Ware CAT6A 2m Ethernet Cable is a professional-grade network patch cord built to Australian compliance standards. Unlike cheaper alternatives using Copper Clad Aluminium (CCA), this cable features genuine full copper construction, ensuring reliable performance and legal compliance.
With support for speeds up to 10Gbps, this cable future-proofs your network infrastructure whilst maintaining compatibility with legacy systems running at 10Mbps, 100Mbps, or 1000Mbps. The snagless RJ45 connectors protect against damage during installation, and the robust jacket resists bending and physical wear in demanding office and home environments.
Ideal for connecting computers, network switches, routers, gaming consoles, and media players, the 8Ware CAT6A cable delivers superior signal strength with less susceptibility to interference. The 2-metre length provides flexibility for standard network installations.

FAQs
What is the difference between CAT6A and standard CAT6 cables?
CAT6A cables support higher bandwidth and faster speeds up to 10Gbps, compared to CAT6 which typically maxes out at 10Gbps for shorter distances. CAT6A is better for future-proofing networks and high-performance applications.
Why does 8Ware use full copper construction instead of CCA?
Full copper provides superior electrical conductivity, signal integrity, and durability. CCA (Copper Clad Aluminium) is cheaper but does not meet Australian standards and is potentially unsafe. 8Ware cables comply with Australian regulations.
What does 'snagless' mean on RJ45 connectors?
Snagless connectors have a protective sleeve that covers the locking tab, preventing it from catching or breaking during installation and removal. This reduces damage and makes handling easier.
Can I use this cable with older network devices running at slower speeds?
Yes. The 8Ware CAT6A cable is backward compatible and works with networks running at 10Mbps, 100Mbps, or 1000Mbps as well as faster 10Gbps networks.
Is 2 metres long enough for my setup?
A 2-metre cable is suitable for most desktop and office installations where devices are reasonably close. If you need greater distance, consider a longer cable length or contact Hyetech Australia for alternative options.
What is included in the 12-month warranty?
The manufacturer warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship. It does not cover physical damage from misuse, bending, or improper installation. Contact Hyetech Australia for warranty claim details.
