FAQs
What is the difference between CAT8 and other Ethernet cable types?

CAT8 cables support higher speeds (up to 10 Gbps) compared to CAT6A (10 Gbps over shorter distances) and CAT6 (1 Gbps). They offer superior shielding and are ideal for high-bandwidth applications and future-proofing network infrastructure.

Is this cable suitable for my home network?

Yes. The 8Ware CAT8 cable works with any network running at 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, 1 Gbps, or 10 Gbps. It's backwards compatible and will work reliably in home, office, or commercial networks.

Why does the product information mention CCA cables?

CCA (Copper Clad Aluminium) cables are cheaper alternatives that use an aluminium core coated with copper. They do not meet Australian standards and may pose performance and safety risks. 8Ware cables use full copper construction for superior quality and compliance.

What does 'snagless' mean?

Snagless connectors have a protective clip design that prevents the latch from snagging on other cables or fixtures during installation and removal, reducing damage and making cable management easier.

Can I use this cable for data centre installations?

Yes. The CAT8-R-2GRY is suitable for professional data centre and server room environments where reliable high-speed connectivity and signal integrity are critical.

How long is the warranty?

The 8Ware CAT8 cable comes with a 12-month warranty covering manufacturing defects.

What length options are available?

This product is available in 2 metres. 8Ware manufactures CAT8 cables in various lengths to suit different installation requirements.
