Overview
- The 8Ware CAT7 5m Ethernet Cable is a professional-grade network cable constructed with full copper core for reliable, high-speed connectivity. Unlike cheaper alternatives using Copper Clad Aluminium (CCA), this cable meets Australian regulatory standards and delivers superior signal integrity across your network infrastructure.
The snagless flat design provides robust protection against physical damage whilst maintaining flexibility for installation in tight spaces. With support for speeds up to 10Gbps, it's suitable for current and future network requirements. The bright yellow colour aids cable identification and management in complex installations.
This cable is ideal for connecting computers, gaming consoles, media players, and IoT devices to modems, routers, network switches, and other infrastructure. The 5-metre length covers most typical office and home network spans without requiring additional connections.

FAQs
What is the difference between CAT7 and other Ethernet cable types?
CAT7 supports higher speeds (up to 10Gbps) compared to CAT5e (1Gbps) or CAT6 (10Gbps with limitations). It provides better shielding and signal integrity for demanding network applications.
Why is full copper core better than CCA cables?
Full copper core cables meet Australian regulatory standards, deliver superior conductivity, and provide better signal strength. CCA (Copper Clad Aluminium) cables are cheaper but do not meet local standards and can be less reliable.
Is a 5-metre cable suitable for my office?
A 5-metre cable is ideal for most office desks, home networks, and small installations. If you need longer distances, consider chaining multiple cables with couplers or selecting a longer single cable.
Can I use this cable for gaming consoles and streaming devices?
Yes. The CAT7 cable's high-speed capability makes it ideal for gaming consoles, smart TVs, media streamers, and other devices requiring stable, fast network connectivity.
What does snagless design mean?
Snagless means the RJ45 connectors have a protective design that prevents the locking clip from catching on other cables or infrastructure, reducing damage during installation and removal.
Is this cable compatible with all routers and switches?
Yes. CAT7 cables with RJ45 connectors are universally compatible with all standard network devices including routers, switches, modems, and network interface cards.
What warranty is included?
The 8Ware CAT7 cable includes a 12-month manufacturer's warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship.
