FAQs
What is the difference between CAT6A and CAT6 cables?
CAT6A cables support higher speeds up to 10Gbps compared to CAT6's 1Gbps, with improved shielding for reduced interference over longer distances. This makes CAT6A ideal for future-proofing networks and data centre applications.
Does this cable work with older equipment?
Yes, the 8Ware CAT6A cable is backward compatible with all networks running at 10Mbps, 100Mbps, 1000Mbps, or 10Gbps. It will work with any device featuring an RJ45 connector.
Why is full copper construction important?
Full copper core provides superior conductivity, better signal strength, and compliance with Australian standards. Cheaper CCA (Copper Clad Aluminium) cables offer reduced performance and do not meet local regulations.
What does 'snagless' mean?
Snagless connectors feature a protective boot that prevents the latch from catching on objects or fingers during installation, reducing the risk of accidental disconnection and damage.
Is a 2-metre cable suitable for my setup?
The 2-metre length is ideal for most desk-to-router, computer-to-switch, and wall-mounted device installations. For longer distances, consider 5m or 10m variants.
Can I use this cable in high-interference environments?
The robust construction and full copper core provide excellent shielding against electromagnetic interference, making it suitable for busy office and industrial settings.
