FAQs
What is the difference between CAT6A and other cable types?
CAT6A (Category 6A) is an advanced Ethernet cable standard that supports speeds up to 10Gbps over longer distances compared to earlier standards. It offers better shielding and performance for modern high-speed networks.
Why is full copper construction important?
Full copper construction ensures better conductivity, signal strength, and compliance with Australian standards. Some cheaper cables use Copper Clad Aluminium (CCA), which does not meet Australian regulations and can be less reliable.
What does 'snagless' mean?
Snagless connectors have a retractable boot that prevents the connector from catching on other cables or equipment during installation and removal, reducing damage and making installation easier.
Is this cable suitable for my existing network?
Yes. The 8Ware CAT6A patch cord is backward compatible and works with networks running at 10Mbps, 100Mbps, 1000Mbps, and 10Gbps, making it suitable for most office and home setups.
How long is this cable?
This cable is 1 metre in length, making it ideal for short-distance connections between nearby devices and network equipment.
What is the warranty period?
The 8Ware CAT6A patch cord comes with a 12-month warranty covering manufacturing defects and faults.
Can I use this cable for gaming and streaming?
Yes. With support for speeds up to 10Gbps and robust construction, this cable is suitable for gaming consoles, media players, and streaming devices connected to your network.
