Overview
- The 8Ware CAT8-R-1GRY is a professional-grade Ethernet patch cable built to deliver reliable, high-speed network connectivity. Constructed with a full copper core, this cable meets Australian standards and avoids the inferior Copper Clad Aluminium (CCA) used in cheaper alternatives.
With CAT8 certification, it supports network speeds of 10Mbps, 100Mbps, 1000Mbps, and up to 10Gbps, making it suitable for both current and future network requirements. The snagless connectors provide easy installation and secure connections without snagging on cable management systems.
Designed for durability, the 8Ware cable features robust materials that ensure superior signal strength and improved protection against interference and damage. The 1-metre length makes it ideal for connecting computers, game consoles, TV boxes, media players, and other network devices to modems, routers, switches, and network equipment.

FAQs
What is the difference between CAT8 and other cable categories?
CAT8 cables support speeds up to 10Gbps and are designed for high-performance networks. They provide better shielding and signal integrity compared to CAT6 or CAT7 cables, making them ideal for future-proofing your network infrastructure.
Why does 8Ware use full copper instead of CCA?
Full copper conductors provide superior electrical conductivity and signal transmission compared to Copper Clad Aluminium (CCA). CCA cables are cheaper but do not meet Australian standards and can be unreliable for professional installations.
Can I use this cable for gaming consoles and streaming devices?
Yes. The 8Ware CAT8 cable is suitable for connecting gaming consoles, streaming devices, smart TVs, and media players to your network for reliable, lag-free performance.
What does 'snagless' mean?
Snagless connectors have a protective boot that prevents the cable from catching on cable management systems, patch panels, and other equipment during installation and maintenance.
Is this cable suitable for data centre installations?
Yes. The CAT8-R-1GRY is designed for professional environments including data centres, server rooms, and enterprise networks where high-speed, reliable connectivity is essential.
What warranty does the 8Ware CAT8 cable include?
The cable comes with a 12-month manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship.
