FAQs
What is the difference between CAT6A and other cable types?
CAT6A is the latest standard for Ethernet cables, supporting speeds up to 10Gbps compared to CAT6 (up to 10Gbps at shorter distances) and CAT5e (up to 1Gbps). It offers better shielding and is ideal for modern networks requiring high bandwidth.
Why does the 8Ware cable use full copper instead of CCA?
Full copper core provides superior conductivity, signal strength, and durability. CCA (Copper Clad Aluminium) is cheaper but does not meet Australian standards and is less reliable for professional use.
Can this cable be used for gaming and streaming?
Yes. The CAT6A cable's support for up to 10Gbps makes it ideal for low-latency gaming, 4K streaming, and other bandwidth-intensive applications.
Is the snagless design important?
Yes. Snagless connectors prevent the clip from breaking during installation and removal, protecting the cable and ensuring secure, reliable connections.
What does the 12-month warranty cover?
The warranty covers manufacturing defects. Check with Hyetech Australia or the manufacturer for specific terms and conditions.
Is a 3-metre cable long enough for typical office setups?
A 3-metre cable is suitable for most desk-to-router or device-to-switch connections. For longer distances, consider a longer cable length or consult your network layout.
