Overview
- The 8Ware CAT8 Cable is a professional-grade Ethernet patch cord engineered for modern high-speed networks. Constructed with full copper cores and robust materials, it provides superior signal strength and durability compared to budget alternatives using Copper Clad Aluminium (CCA), which does not meet Australian regulatory standards.
This 1-metre cable supports data rates from 10Mbps to 10Gbps, making it suitable for both current networks and future-proof installations. The snagless RJ45 connectors protect against accidental disconnection and damage during installation and handling.
8Ware network cables are designed for environments where reliability matters—offices, data centres, and homes where network performance directly impacts productivity and user experience. The full copper construction ensures consistent performance and longevity.

FAQs
What is the difference between CAT8 and other cable categories?
CAT8 is the latest Ethernet standard, supporting data speeds up to 10Gbps. It offers superior performance compared to CAT6A and earlier categories, with better shielding and higher bandwidth capacity for future-proof network installations.
Why does 8Ware use full copper construction?
Full copper cores provide superior electrical conductivity and signal integrity compared to Copper Clad Aluminium (CCA). CCA cables are cheaper but do not comply with Australian standards and may pose safety risks. 8Ware cables meet Australian regulations and deliver consistent, reliable performance.
What does snagless mean, and why does it matter?
Snagless connectors have protective boots that prevent the locking clip from catching on surfaces during installation. This reduces accidental disconnections, protects the connector from damage, and makes installation easier in tight spaces.
Can I use this cable for gaming or streaming?
Yes. The 8Ware CAT8 cable supports speeds up to 10Gbps, making it ideal for high-bandwidth applications including online gaming, 4K video streaming, and large file transfers.
Is this cable compatible with my existing network devices?
Yes. CAT8 cables are backward compatible with CAT6, CAT5e, and earlier standards. The RJ45 connectors work with any standard Ethernet port on routers, switches, computers, and network devices.
What is the warranty on this cable?
The 8Ware CAT8 Cable includes a 12-month manufacturer's warranty covering defects in materials and construction.
