FAQs
What is the difference between CAT8 and CAT6A cables?
CAT8 cables support higher speeds (up to 10Gbps) with better shielding and performance over longer distances compared to CAT6A. CAT8 is designed for future-ready networks and high-demand environments.
Can I use this cable for gaming and streaming?
Yes. The CAT8 cable supports 10Gbps speeds, making it excellent for high-bandwidth activities like gaming, 4K streaming, and large file transfers.
Why does 8Ware use full copper core instead of CCA?
Full copper core provides superior conductivity, better signal strength, and reliability. CCA (Copper Clad Aluminium) is cheaper but does not meet Australian standards and can be unreliable.
Is the 3-metre length suitable for my office setup?
3 metres is ideal for most office and home installations. If you need a longer cable, 8Ware offers other lengths. For very long runs, consider your network switch placement to minimise cable length.
What does 'snagless' mean?
Snagless connectors have a protective boot that prevents the clip from catching or breaking during installation and removal, improving durability and ease of use.
Is this cable compatible with older network devices?
Yes. The CAT8 cable is backward compatible with all Ethernet devices using RJ45 connectors, supporting 10Mbps, 100Mbps, 1000Mbps, and 10Gbps networks.
What warranty does this cable come with?
The 8Ware CAT8 cable includes a 12-month manufacturer's warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship.
