FAQs
What is the difference between 8Ware CAT6 cables and cheaper CCA cables?
8Ware cables are constructed with a full copper core, which meets Australian standards and provides superior conductivity. Cheaper CCA (Copper Clad Aluminium) cables do not comply with Australian regulations and offer inferior performance and durability.
What network speeds does this CAT6 cable support?
This cable supports 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, 1000 Mbps (Gigabit), and 10 Gbps network speeds, making it suitable for both current and future network deployments.
Is the 40-metre length suitable for my office setup?
Yes. The 40-metre length is ideal for longer cable runs across offices, between floors, or from network infrastructure to distant devices. Ensure your network switch or router is rated for extended cable runs.
What does 'snagless' mean on the RJ45 connector?
Snagless connectors have a sliding boot that prevents the latch from catching or breaking during installation and removal, providing added durability and ease of use.
Can I use this cable outdoors?
This is an indoor UTP cable. For outdoor or exposed environments, consider shielded or outdoor-rated cabling to protect against environmental damage.
What is the warranty on this cable?
The 8Ware CAT6 40m cable comes with a 12-month warranty covering manufacturing defects.
Is this cable compatible with my router and switch?
Yes. This RJ45 Ethernet cable is compatible with all standard routers, switches, network adapters, and Ethernet-enabled devices using RJ45 connectors.
