FAQs
What is the difference between CAT6A and standard CAT6 cables?
CAT6A cables support higher speeds up to 10Gbps compared to CAT6's 1Gbps maximum. CAT6A also features better shielding and tighter tolerances, making it suitable for professional installations and future-proofing your network infrastructure.
Is this cable suitable for gaming and streaming?
Yes. The 8Ware CAT6A cable supports speeds up to 10Gbps, providing more than sufficient bandwidth for gaming, 4K streaming, and large file transfers without latency or buffering.
Why should I avoid CCA cables?
The 8Ware CAT6A uses full copper construction, which meets Australian standards and regulations. Cheaper CCA (Copper Clad Aluminium) cables do not comply with Australian standards and offer inferior conductivity and durability.
Can I use this cable for long-distance runs?
Yes. The 20-metre length is designed for long-distance installations between network devices, routers, and switches without significant signal loss thanks to enhanced shielding and full copper construction.
What devices can I connect with this cable?
This cable connects computers, laptops, printers, routers, network switches, gaming consoles, smart TVs, media players, and any other device with an RJ45 Ethernet port.
Is the snagless design important?
Yes. Snagless connectors prevent the latch from snagging on cables or equipment, reducing accidental disconnections and making installations easier, especially in crowded network environments.
What is the warranty coverage?
The 8Ware CAT6A cable includes a 12-month manufacturer's warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship.
