Overview
- The 8Ware CAT6A 0.25m Ethernet patch cable is a high-quality network cable engineered for reliable data transmission. Constructed with a full copper core and robust materials, it ensures superior signal strength and protection against interference—meeting and exceeding Australian standards.
This short-run cable is ideal for compact network installations where space is limited, such as patching between adjacent devices or connecting equipment in tight server rack environments. The snagless RJ45 connectors prevent cable damage during installation and removal, reducing downtime and replacement costs.
8Ware's commitment to full copper construction sets it apart from cheaper alternatives using Copper Clad Aluminium (CCA), which do not comply with Australian regulations. Whether you're building a home office network, upgrading a small business installation, or managing a larger infrastructure project, this cable delivers consistent performance across 10Mbps, 100Mbps, 1000Mbps and 10Gbps networks.

FAQs
What is the difference between 8Ware CAT6A cables and cheaper CCA cables?
8Ware CAT6A cables are constructed with a full copper core, which meets Australian standards and provides superior performance. Cheaper Copper Clad Aluminium (CCA) cables do not comply with Australian regulations and may pose safety risks. Full copper construction ensures better signal strength and durability.
Is this 0.25m cable suitable for my network setup?
The 0.25m (25cm) length is ideal for short-run connections, such as patching between adjacent network devices, switch ports, or equipment in server racks. For longer distances, consider 8Ware CAT6A cables in 0.5m, 1m, 2m or longer lengths.
What does 'snagless' mean?
Snagless connectors have a protective boot around the RJ45 connector that prevents the locking clip from catching or snagging on cables or equipment during installation and removal. This reduces damage to the connector and cable, extending their lifespan.
Can this cable support 10Gbps networks?
Yes. The 8Ware CAT6A cable supports speeds up to 10Gbps, making it suitable for high-performance networks. It is also backward compatible with slower networks running at 10Mbps, 100Mbps or 1000Mbps.
What is the warranty on this cable?
The 8Ware CAT6A cable comes with a 12-month warranty, providing peace of mind and protection against manufacturing defects.
Can I use this cable outdoors?
This cable is designed for indoor use. For outdoor or exposed installations, consult 8Ware's outdoor-rated cable options or contact Hyetech Australia for recommendations.
