FAQs
What is the difference between 8Ware CAT6A cables and cheaper CCA alternatives?
8Ware CAT6A cables feature full copper core construction and meet Australian standards and regulations. Cheaper CCA (Copper Clad Aluminium) cables do not comply with Australian standards and may pose safety risks. 8Ware cables provide superior signal strength, durability, and protection against damage.
What network speeds does this cable support?

Is the 0.5m length suitable for my installation?
The 0.5 metre length is ideal for short-run connections, such as connecting devices in close proximity, dense rack patching in server rooms, or bundled equipment setups. For longer distances, 8Ware offers cables in various lengths.
What does 'snagless' mean?
Snagless connectors feature a rounded design that prevents the connector clip from catching or snagging on cables, patch panels, or equipment during installation and disconnection, reducing accidental disconnection and connector damage.
