FAQs
What is the difference between 8Ware CAT6A cables and cheaper CCA alternatives?
8Ware cables feature full copper core construction, which complies with Australian standards and delivers superior signal strength and durability. CCA (Copper Clad Aluminium) cables are cheaper but do not meet Australian regulations and can be unreliable for professional use.
What network speeds does this cable support?
The 8Ware CAT6A cable supports data speeds of 10Mbps, 100Mbps, 1000Mbps, and 10Gbps, making it suitable for modern and future network requirements.
Is the 5-metre length suitable for my installation?
The 5-metre cable is ideal for medium-distance runs between network devices such as routers, switches, and computers. For longer distances, consult your network design or contact our support team.
What does 'snagless' mean on the connector?
Snagless connectors have a protective boot that prevents the latch from snagging on cables during insertion and removal, reducing the risk of accidental damage and improving connector longevity.
Can I use this cable for gaming consoles and media players?
Yes. The CAT6A cable is suitable for connecting gaming consoles, media players, and other network devices to your modem, router, or switch for stable, high-speed connectivity.
