FAQs
What is the difference between CAT6A and other CAT6 cables?
CAT6A cables support speeds up to 10Gbps, while standard CAT6 cables typically support up to 1Gbps. CAT6A also offers improved shielding and performance over longer distances, making it suitable for future-proofing network infrastructure.
Why is full copper construction important?
Full copper cores provide superior conductivity and signal strength compared to Copper Clad Aluminium (CCA) alternatives. Copper also meets Australian standards and regulations, ensuring safety and performance reliability.
Can I use this cable for a 1Gbps network?
Yes. The 8Ware CAT6A is backward compatible and works with all network speeds, including 10Mbps, 100Mbps, and 1000Mbps (gigabit) networks.
What does snagless mean?
Snagless connectors have a protective boot that prevents the latch from snagging on cables during installation and removal. This reduces connector damage and makes the cable easier to use in tight spaces.
Is the 3-metre length suitable for my office setup?
A 3-metre cable is suitable for most office environments, including desk-to-wall socket or switch connections. If you need a longer run, 8Ware offers cables in other lengths. For runs over 100 metres, consult network design guidelines.
What does the 12-month warranty cover?
The warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship. It does not cover damage from physical abuse, incorrect installation, or improper use. Contact Hyetech Australia for warranty claims and support.
