FAQs
What is the difference between CAT6A and other cable types?
CAT6A cables support speeds up to 10Gbps, making them suitable for high-performance networks and future-proofing your infrastructure. They offer better shielding and performance than CAT5 or CAT6 cables, particularly over longer distances.
Why does 8Ware use full copper instead of CCA?
Full copper construction ensures better electrical conductivity, superior signal strength, and compliance with Australian standards. Copper Clad Aluminium (CCA) is cheaper but does not meet Australian regulations and is potentially unsafe.
What does 'snagless' mean?
Snagless connectors have a protective boot that prevents the clip from catching or snagging on cables during installation and removal, reducing connector damage and disconnections.
Can I use this cable for gaming consoles and media players?
Yes, the 8Ware CAT6A Cable is suitable for connecting gaming consoles, media players, smart TVs, and other network devices to your router or modem for reliable, high-speed connectivity.
What is the warranty coverage?
The 8Ware CAT6A Cable includes a 12-month manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship.
Is this cable suitable for professional data centre installations?
Yes, the full copper construction, robust shielding, and compliance with Australian standards make it suitable for professional network and data centre applications.
