Overview
- The 8Ware CAT6A Cable is a professional-grade 2m Ethernet patch cord built to deliver reliable high-speed network connectivity. Constructed with full copper core materials, it provides superior signal strength and durability compared to cheaper alternatives that use Copper Clad Aluminium (CCA), which do not meet Australian standards.
Designed for flexibility and ease of installation, the snagless RJ45 connectors prevent damage during deployment and repositioning. This cable supports network speeds from 10Mbps up to 10Gbps, making it suitable for both legacy and modern network infrastructure.
Ideally suited for office networks, home setups, and enterprise environments where reliable connectivity is essential. The blue PVC jacket provides visual identification on patch panels and network racks. Backed by a 12-month warranty, this cable represents a solid investment in network reliability.

FAQs
What is the difference between CAT6A and other cable types?
CAT6A cables are rated for speeds up to 10Gbps and offer better performance and longer maximum distances than CAT6 or CAT5e cables. They are ideal for future-proofing network infrastructure and handling high-bandwidth applications.
Why does 8Ware use full copper core instead of CCA?
Full copper provides superior conductivity, signal integrity, and durability compared to Copper Clad Aluminium (CCA). CCA does not meet Australian standards and can introduce signal degradation and reliability issues.
Can I use this cable with my existing modem and router?
Yes, the 8Ware CAT6A cable is backward compatible with all standard RJ45-equipped network devices including modems, routers, switches, computers, and other network equipment.
Is 2m long enough for my setup?
The 2m length is suitable for most desk-to-router connections, patch panel work, and local network runs. If you require longer distances, 8Ware offers other cable lengths.
What does 'snagless' mean?
Snagless connectors have a protective boot that prevents the clip from snagging on cables and panels during installation and removal, reducing damage risk.
Is this cable suitable for gaming or video streaming?
Yes, the CAT6A rating and 10Gbps capability make it well-suited for gaming consoles, smart TVs, media streaming devices, and other bandwidth-intensive applications.
