Overview
- The 8Ware CAT6A Cable delivers professional-grade network connectivity in a 3-metre grey patch cord. Built with full copper core construction, it exceeds Australian standards and avoids the reliability and compliance issues associated with cheaper Copper Clad Aluminium (CCA) alternatives.
Designed for modern networks, this cable supports data rates from 10Mbps up to 10Gbps, making it suitable for both current and future network requirements. The snagless RJ45 connectors provide physical protection during installation and reduce the risk of damage, while robust materials ensure superior signal strength and reduced susceptibility to interference.
Ideal for connecting computers, gaming consoles, media players and other network devices to routers, switches and modems in office and home environments. The 3-metre length offers flexibility for typical desk-to-router or wall-mounted device installations.

FAQs
What is the difference between CAT6A and CAT6 cables?
CAT6A cables support higher data rates up to 10Gbps compared to CAT6 cables which support up to 1Gbps. CAT6A also provides better shielding and performance over longer distances, making it ideal for future-proofing network infrastructure.
Is this cable suitable for gaming and streaming?
Yes. The CAT6A cable supports speeds up to 10Gbps, making it more than adequate for online gaming, 4K video streaming and other bandwidth-intensive applications.
Why should I choose full copper over CCA cables?
Full copper cables comply with Australian standards and regulations. CCA (Copper Clad Aluminium) cables are cheaper but offer inferior conductivity, reduced signal quality and may not meet local compliance requirements. 8Ware uses full copper for reliability and safety.
What does 'snagless' mean?
Snagless connectors feature a protective sleeve that prevents the latch from catching on cable covers or other obstacles during installation. This reduces the risk of connector damage and makes the cable easier to install in tight spaces.
Can I use this cable outdoors?
This is an indoor patch cord cable. For outdoor installations, use cables specifically designed for external environments with appropriate UV and weather protection.
Is the 3-metre length suitable for my installation?
The 3-metre length is ideal for connecting devices within typical office desk areas or between wall-mounted equipment and nearby network devices. For longer distances, 8Ware offers CAT6A cables in other lengths.
