FAQs
What is the difference between CAT6A and other cable categories?
CAT6A cable supports data speeds up to 10Gbps and provides better shielding than CAT6 or CAT5e. It's designed for high-performance networks and future-proofing your infrastructure. The 8Ware CAT6A is backward compatible with slower networks (1Gbps, 100Mbps, 10Mbps).
Why should I avoid CCA cables?
CCA (Copper Clad Aluminium) cables are cheaper but do not meet Australian standards and can be potentially dangerous. 8Ware cables use full copper core construction, ensuring regulatory compliance, better conductivity, superior signal strength, and improved safety.
What does 'snagless' mean?
Snagless connectors have a protective boot that prevents the cable from snagging on equipment during installation and removal. This protects both the cable and your network devices from physical damage.
Is this cable suitable for gaming and streaming?
Yes. The CAT6A supports speeds up to 10Gbps, making it ideal for gaming consoles, streaming devices, and media players. It provides reliable, low-latency connectivity for online gaming and 4K video streaming.
Can I use this cable with my existing network equipment?
Yes. CAT6A cables are backward compatible with all standard network devices including routers, modems, switches, servers, and computers. They work with networks running at 10Mbps, 100Mbps, 1Gbps, or 10Gbps.
What is included in the 12-month warranty?
The warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship. Contact Hyetech Australia with proof of purchase for warranty claims or support.
What cable length options are available?
The 2-metre length is ideal for desktop setups and local connections. For longer distances, consult with Hyetech Australia about other available lengths or consider using network switches and additional patch cables.
