FAQs
What is the difference between CAT6A and CAT6 cables?

CAT6A cables support faster data rates up to 10Gbps compared to CAT6 which maxes out at 1Gbps. CAT6A also provides better shielding and is designed for longer distances, making it future-proof for modern networks.

Why should I avoid CCA cables?

CCA (Copper Clad Aluminium) cables are cheaper but do not meet Australian standards and can be potentially dangerous. 8Ware cables use full copper construction, ensuring compliance, safety, and superior performance.

Is this cable suitable for 10Gbps networks?

Yes, the 8Ware CAT6A cable is rated for speeds up to 10Gbps, making it suitable for modern high-speed network installations and future upgrades.

What does snagless mean?

Snagless connectors have a protective boot that prevents the clip from snagging on cables during installation and removal, reducing strain and connection issues.

Can I use this cable for permanent installation?

Yes, the robust construction and full copper core make this cable suitable for permanent installations, patch panels, and demanding network environments.

What is the warranty period?

The 8Ware CAT6A cable comes with a 12-month warranty covering manufacturing defects.
