FAQs
What is the difference between 8Ware CAT6A and cheaper CCA cables?
8Ware cables are constructed with full copper core conductors and comply with Australian standards. CCA (Copper Clad Aluminium) cables are cheaper alternatives that do not meet Australian regulations and can be unreliable. Full copper construction ensures better signal strength, durability, and safety.
What network speeds does this cable support?
This CAT6A cable supports data transfer speeds of 10Mbps, 100Mbps, and 1000Mbps (Gigabit Ethernet), making it suitable for modern high-speed networks.
Is the 5-metre length suitable for my installation?
A 5-metre cable is suitable for most home and office installations where the device is relatively close to the network switch or router. Measure the distance between your devices and the network connection point to confirm this length will work for your setup.
What does 'snagless' mean?
Snagless connectors have a protective clip design that prevents the cable from accidentally disconnecting when moved or brushed against. This is particularly useful in busy network environments or areas with frequent cable movement.
Can I use this cable for gaming and streaming?
Yes. The CAT6A cable supports Gigabit speeds (1000Mbps) and robust shielding, making it ideal for online gaming, 4K video streaming, and other bandwidth-intensive applications.
Is this cable backwards compatible with older network equipment?
Yes. CAT6A cables are backwards compatible with older CAT5 and CAT5e equipment. However, the maximum speed will be limited by the older equipment's capabilities.
What warranty does this cable include?
This 8Ware cable is backed by a 12-month manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship.
