FAQs
What is the difference between CAT6A and CAT6 cables?
CAT6A cables support higher speeds (up to 10Gbps) compared to CAT6 (up to 1Gbps) and have improved shielding for better signal integrity. This cable uses full copper construction to meet Australian standards.
Is this cable suitable for gaming and streaming?
Yes. The CAT6A standard and 10Gbps capability make this cable ideal for lag-free gaming, 4K streaming, and other bandwidth-intensive applications.
What does 'snagless' mean?
Snagless connectors have a protective boot that prevents the clip from catching on cables or equipment during installation and removal, reducing damage risk.
Why is full copper construction important?
Full copper cores provide superior conductivity and signal strength compared to Copper Clad Aluminium (CCA). All 8Ware cables use full copper and meet Australian regulatory standards.
Can I use this cable for older networks running at 100Mbps?
Yes. This cable is backwards compatible and works with all network speeds: 10Mbps, 100Mbps, 1000Mbps, and 10Gbps.
What is included in the warranty?
The cable includes a 12-month manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship.
Is the 3-metre length suitable for my setup?
A 3-metre cable is typical for connecting nearby devices such as computers to routers, switches, or wall ports. For longer distances, consider additional cable lengths.
