FAQs
What is the difference between CAT7 cables and other ethernet cable categories?
CAT7 cables support higher frequencies and faster data transmission speeds compared to CAT5e or CAT6 cables. The 8Ware CAT7 supports speeds up to 10Gbps, making it suitable for demanding network applications and future-proofing your infrastructure.
Why does 8Ware use full copper core construction instead of CCA?
Full copper core cables meet Australian standards and provide superior conductivity, signal strength, and durability compared to Copper Clad Aluminium (CCA) alternatives. CCA cables do not meet Australian regulations and pose potential safety and performance risks.
What does 'snagless' mean and why is it important?
Snagless connectors feature a protective boot that prevents the clip from catching on nearby cables or equipment during installation and removal. This design reduces accidental disconnection and makes cable management easier in crowded network installations.
Can I use a CAT7 cable with older network devices?
Yes. The 8Ware CAT7 cable is backwards compatible with 10Mbps, 100Mbps, and 1000Mbps networks. It will work with older devices but will operate at their maximum supported speed rather than the cable's full 10Gbps capability.
Is a 5-metre cable suitable for my office setup?
A 5-metre cable is suitable for most office environments, connecting devices within a typical workstation radius. For longer distances, 8Ware offers cables in various lengths. Contact our team to find the right length for your installation.
What warranty does the 8Ware CAT7 cable include?
The 8Ware CAT7-R-5BLU includes a 12-month warranty covering manufacturing defects and compliance with stated specifications.
