FAQs
What is the difference between CAT6A and standard CAT6 cables?
CAT6A cables support data rates up to 10Gbps over longer distances, whilst standard CAT6 cables are typically rated for 1Gbps. CAT6A provides better performance and future-proofing for high-speed networks.
Why should I choose full copper cables over CCA alternatives?
Full copper cables meet Australian standards, deliver superior signal strength and reliability, and are safer than CCA (Copper Clad Aluminium) alternatives. CCA cables are cheaper but do not comply with Australian regulations.
Can I use this cable for gaming consoles and media players?
Yes, the 8Ware CAT6A cable is suitable for connecting gaming consoles, TV, media players and other devices to your network. Its robust construction ensures reliable performance for entertainment applications.
Is the 50-metre length suitable for long-distance installations?
Yes, the 50-metre length is designed for extended network runs. The full copper core construction ensures signal integrity over the full distance without significant performance degradation.
What does 'snagless' mean?
Snagless connectors have a retractable clip that prevents accidental disconnection when the cable is pulled or moved. This design reduces downtime and improves connection reliability.
Is this cable suitable for data centre use?
Yes, the CAT6A specification and full copper construction make this cable suitable for data centre environments, server connections and other mission-critical network applications.
