Overview
- The 8Ware CAT6A 40-metre Ethernet Cable is engineered with full copper core construction to ensure compliance with Australian standards and deliver reliable high-speed network performance. Unlike cheaper alternatives using Copper Clad Aluminium (CCA), this cable uses genuine copper for superior conductivity and safety.
Designed for modern networks, the cable supports speeds from 10Mbps through to 10Gbps, making it suitable for both legacy systems and next-generation infrastructure. The snagless RJ45 connectors prevent accidental disconnection during use, whilst robust construction and enhanced shielding minimise signal loss and electromagnetic interference.
The 40-metre length provides flexibility for office layouts, data centre installations, and home networking scenarios where standard cable lengths fall short. Whether connecting workstations to switches, routers to modems, or media devices to network infrastructure, this cable delivers the durability and performance Australian IT professionals expect.

FAQs
What is the difference between CAT6A and CAT6 cables?
CAT6A cables support higher speeds up to 10Gbps over longer distances compared to CAT6, which typically maxes out at 1Gbps. CAT6A also offers better shielding and reduced crosstalk, making it ideal for future-proofing network infrastructure.
Why is full copper construction important?
Full copper cores provide superior electrical conductivity and signal integrity compared to Copper Clad Aluminium (CCA). Copper cables meet Australian standards, are more durable, and deliver consistent performance across longer distances.
Can I use this cable for outdoor installations?
This is a standard UTP cable designed for indoor use. For outdoor applications, weatherproof or shielded outdoor-rated cables are recommended. Check environmental conditions before outdoor deployment.
Is 40 metres too long for network cables?
40 metres is within acceptable range for CAT6A cables and Ethernet standards. However, for optimal performance over such distances, ensure the cable is routed away from sources of electromagnetic interference and avoid sharp bends.
What devices can I connect with this cable?
This cable is compatible with any device featuring an RJ45 port, including computers, servers, network switches, routers, modems, gaming consoles, smart TVs, and media players.
What does 'snagless' mean?
Snagless connectors feature a protective boot around the RJ45 connector that prevents the latch from catching on cables or equipment, reducing risk of accidental disconnection during installation and relocation.
Is this cable suitable for gigabit networks?
Yes. This CAT6A cable fully supports 1000Mbps (Gigabit) networks and is also compatible with legacy 10Mbps and 100Mbps networks, as well as emerging 10Gbps infrastructure.
