FAQs
What is the difference between CAT6A and CAT5e cables?
CAT6A cables support speeds up to 10Gbps compared to CAT5e's 1Gbps maximum. They also feature enhanced shielding and better signal integrity, making them suitable for future-proof network infrastructure and high-bandwidth applications.
Why is full copper core construction important?
Full copper provides superior conductivity, signal strength, and durability compared to copper-clad aluminium (CCA). It also meets Australian regulatory standards and ensures reliable performance over time, particularly in demanding network environments.
Can I use this cable for gaming and streaming?
Yes. The 8Ware CAT6A cable supports speeds up to 10Gbps, making it ideal for online gaming, 4K video streaming, and other bandwidth-intensive applications. The robust construction also minimises interference that could affect performance.
What does 'snagless' mean?
Snagless connectors feature a protective boot that prevents the cable from catching or snagging when connecting and disconnecting. This protects both the connector and the cable jacket from damage.
Is 2 metres long enough for my setup?
A 2-metre cable is suitable for most standard office desks, home networks, and rack installations. If you need a longer cable, contact Hyetech Australia for other length options.
What warranty does this cable come with?
The 8Ware CAT6A cable includes a 12-month manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship.
