Overview
- The 8Ware CAT6A Cable is a professional-grade ethernet network cable built to Australian standards with full copper core construction. At 50 metres, it provides the extended reach needed for larger office spaces, server rooms, and distributed network installations without compromising signal integrity.
Unlike cheaper alternatives using Copper Clad Aluminium (CCA), this cable uses pure copper throughout its core, ensuring superior conductivity, better shielding, and compliance with Australian regulations. The snagless design protects connectors during installation and reduces downtime from connection failures.
Capable of supporting legacy 10/100Mbps networks through modern 10Gbps infrastructure, it offers excellent future-proofing for growing businesses. The robust construction and enhanced signal strength make it ideal for critical network connections in offices, data centres, and demanding environments where reliability matters.

FAQs
What is the difference between CAT6A and CAT6 cables?
CAT6A cables support higher bandwidth and faster speeds up to 10Gbps, compared to CAT6 which maxes out at 1Gbps. CAT6A also has better shielding and can handle longer distances with minimal signal degradation, making it ideal for future-proofing network infrastructure.
Why is full copper better than CCA (Copper Clad Aluminium)?
Full copper provides superior conductivity, better signal strength, and improved durability. CCA is cheaper but does not meet Australian standards and can pose safety and performance risks. 8Ware cables use full copper throughout for reliability and compliance.
Can I use this cable for outdoor installations?
This is an indoor UTP cable and is not rated for outdoor use. For outdoor applications, you should use cables specifically designed with weatherproof sheathing and UV protection.
Is 50 metres too long for stable network connections?
CAT6A cables can reliably support 10Gbps over distances up to 55 metres. At 50 metres, this cable will maintain excellent signal integrity for both legacy and modern high-speed networks, particularly with quality connectors like the snagless RJ45 design.
What devices can I connect with this cable?
Use this cable to connect computers, servers, routers, switches, network printers, game consoles, smart TVs, and media players to your network infrastructure. It's suitable for any device with an RJ45 ethernet port.
What is the warranty period?
The 8Ware CAT6A cable includes a 12-month manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship.
