Overview
- The 8ware Cat6 Ultra Thin Ethernet Cable delivers premium network connectivity in a compact 0.5m form factor. Designed for environments where space is critical, this cable maintains full Cat6 performance standards whilst offering a reduced profile that fits easily in crowded patch panels and network cabinets.
Manufactured with gold-plated RJ45 connectors and Fluke-tested construction, the cable meets and exceeds Australian industry standards. It supports data transmission at frequencies up to 250MHz, making it suitable for Fast Ethernet, Gigabit, and 10-Gigabit applications without performance compromise.
The 26AWG multi-strand conductors are arranged in the standard T568A colour-coded twisted-pair configuration, ensuring reliable signal integrity and minimal crosstalk. Fully moulded strain-relief boots protect the connectors from damage during installation and daily use, extending cable lifespan in demanding network environments.

FAQs
What is the difference between Cat6 and Cat5e cables?
Cat6 cables support higher frequencies (up to 250MHz) and faster data transmission speeds, making them suitable for 10-Gigabit Ethernet. Cat5e is limited to Gigabit speeds. Cat6 also has stricter specifications for crosstalk and system noise, providing better performance in demanding applications.
Why is this cable described as 'ultra-thin'?
The ultra-thin design reduces the cable's overall diameter whilst maintaining full Cat6 performance. This makes it ideal for high-density patch panels and network cabinets where space is limited and cable management is critical.
Can I use this 0.5m cable for my network setup?
Yes, the 0.5m length is ideal for short runs in patch panels, server racks, or between nearby network equipment. For longer distances, 8ware offers Cat6 cables in various lengths up to 50m.
What does 'Fluke tested' mean?
Fluke testing is an industry-standard certification that verifies cable performance meets or exceeds Category 6 specifications. It confirms the cable can reliably handle Gigabit and 10-Gigabit Ethernet transmission without errors.
Are the RJ45 connectors compatible with standard network equipment?
Yes, the RJ45 connectors are standard and compatible with all network devices including switches, routers, servers, and computers that have RJ45 ports.
Does this cable come with a warranty?
Yes, the 8ware Cat6 Ultra Thin Cable includes a 3-year manufacturer's warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship.
What is T568A colour-coded wiring?
T568A is the standard wiring configuration for network cables in Australia and most countries. The 8 conductors are arranged in a specific colour sequence (white-green, green, white-orange, blue, white-blue, orange, white-brown, brown) to ensure proper signal transmission.
