FAQs
What is the difference between CAT6A and CAT6 cables?
CAT6A cables support speeds up to 10Gbps over longer distances and include better shielding to reduce cross-talk. They are ideal for future-proofing networks and high-bandwidth applications, whilst CAT6 is limited to 1Gbps over standard distances.
Can I use this cable for my gaming console or media player?
Yes. The 8Ware CAT6A cable is suitable for connecting gaming consoles, media players, smart TVs, and other network devices to your modem, router, or network switch.
Why does the product mention CCA cables?
CCA (Copper Clad Aluminium) cables are cheaper alternatives that do not meet Australian standards and may pose safety risks. 8Ware cables use full copper construction, ensuring compliance and superior performance.
Is this cable suitable for outdoor use?
This is an indoor UTP cable. For outdoor applications, you should use outdoor-rated cables with additional weather protection.
What does 'snagless' mean?
Snagless connectors have a protective boot that prevents the cable jacket from snagging or tearing during insertion and removal, protecting both the cable and your network equipment.
How do I know this cable meets Australian standards?
8Ware cables are constructed with full copper cores and comply with Australian regulations. CCA cables are against Australian standards; 8Ware does not use CCA materials.
