FAQs
What is CAT8 cable and what speeds does it support?
CAT8 is the latest Ethernet cable standard designed for high-speed data transmission. The 8Ware CAT8 cable supports network speeds of 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, 1000 Mbps (1 Gigabit), and 10 Gigabit Ethernet, making it suitable for both current and future network requirements.
Is this cable suitable for Australian use?
Yes. The 8Ware CAT8 cable is constructed with full copper core and complies with Australian standards and regulations. It meets the requirements of Australian network installations and is safe for use in home and office environments.
Why is full copper core construction important?
Full copper core construction ensures superior conductivity, signal strength, and reliability compared to Copper Clad Aluminium (CCA) alternatives. Copper core cables deliver better performance, are more durable, and provide consistent network speeds without signal degradation.
What does 'snagless' mean?
Snagless connectors feature a protective boot around the RJ45 connector that prevents the clip from catching on other cables or equipment during installation and removal. This design protects the connector and reduces the risk of damage to the cable and port.
What length should I choose for my installation?
The 0.5 metre length is ideal for short-distance connections, such as connecting a computer to a nearby wall outlet, switch, or router. For longer runs, 8Ware offers CAT8 cables in extended lengths. Choose the shortest practical length to minimise cable clutter and maintain signal integrity.
Is this cable backwards compatible with older network equipment?
Yes. CAT8 cables are backwards compatible with CAT7, CAT6a, CAT6, CAT5e and CAT5 equipment. You can use this cable with older network devices; it will function at the speed supported by the slower equipment.
What is included in the warranty?
The 8Ware CAT8 cable comes with a 12-month warranty covering manufacturing defects and performance issues. Contact Hyetech Australia for warranty service and support.
