FAQs
What is the difference between CAT6A and CAT6 cables?
CAT6A cables support higher speeds (up to 10Gbps) and improved performance over longer distances compared to CAT6 cables. The 8Ware CAT6A is ideal if you need maximum speed and future-proof network infrastructure.
Why does 8Ware use full copper instead of CCA?
Full copper core construction meets Australian regulatory standards and provides superior conductivity, signal strength, and durability. CCA (Copper Clad Aluminium) cables are cheaper but do not comply with local standards and are less reliable.
Can I use this cable for 10Gbps networks?
Yes. The 8Ware CAT6A cable supports network speeds up to 10Gbps, making it suitable for modern high-speed network installations.
What does 'snagless' mean?
Snagless RJ45 connectors have a reinforced design that prevents the connector clip from catching or breaking during installation and removal, improving durability and ease of use.
Is this cable suitable for both office and home use?
Yes. The 8Ware CAT6A cable is versatile and appropriate for home networks, office installations, data centres, and any environment requiring reliable Ethernet connectivity.
What is included in the 12-month warranty?
