FAQs
What is the difference between CAT6A and standard CAT6 cables?
CAT6A cables support higher bandwidth and faster speeds (up to 10Gbps) compared to standard CAT6 cables (up to 1Gbps). CAT6A is better suited for future-proofing network infrastructure and handling demanding applications.
Is this cable suitable for gaming and streaming?
Yes. The 8Ware CAT6A cable supports gigabit speeds and is ideal for online gaming, 4K video streaming, and other bandwidth-intensive activities requiring stable, high-speed connectivity.
What does 'full copper core' mean, and why does it matter?
Full copper core means the cable's inner conductor is solid copper, not aluminium. Copper provides superior conductivity, signal strength, and reliability. Some competitors use Copper Clad Aluminium (CCA), which is cheaper but does not meet Australian standards.
Can I use this cable outdoors?
This cable is designed for indoor use in home and office networks. For outdoor applications, consult our team about weather-resistant alternatives.
What is a snagless connector?
A snagless connector has a retractable clip that prevents the latch from catching on cables and objects. This reduces accidental disconnections and damage during installation and use.
Is the 3-metre length suitable for my setup?
A 3-metre cable is ideal for typical office and home network distances—connecting computers to routers, switches, or wall outlets. For longer runs, check our extended-length options.
Does this cable come with a warranty?
Yes. The 8Ware CAT6A cable includes a 12-month manufacturer warranty covering manufacturing defects.
