Overview
- The 8ware CAT6 Ultra Thin Slim Cable is a premium-grade Ethernet patch cord engineered for professional network installations. At just 10 metres in length with an ultra-thin profile, it's ideal for high-density patch panel environments where space is at a premium.
Manufactured to ISO/IEC 11801 and TIA/EIA-568-C.2 Category 6 standards, this cable delivers reliable performance across Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet, and 10-Gigabit Ethernet applications. The 250MHz bandwidth specification ensures consistent data transmission with minimal crosstalk and system noise.
Key to its reliability are the gold-plated RJ45 connectors and Fluke-tested construction, meeting and exceeding Australian industry standards. The low-profile moulded boots and strain-relief design provide durability in demanding installation environments, while the red colour aids in network organisation and identification.

FAQs
What is the difference between Cat6 and Cat5e cables?
Cat6 cables support higher bandwidth (250MHz vs 100MHz) and are designed to reduce crosstalk and system noise. Cat6 is suitable for Gigabit and 10-Gigabit Ethernet, making it ideal for modern network installations and future-proofing.
Why is the ultra-thin design important?
Ultra-thin cables take up less space in cable trays and patch panels, allowing for higher-density installations. This is particularly valuable in data centres and server rooms where space efficiency is critical.
Are the connectors suitable for permanent installation?
These connectors are designed for patch cord use (temporary or semi-permanent connections). For permanent wall installations, Cat6 cable should be run through conduit and terminated with in-wall RJ45 plates.
Will this cable work with Gigabit Ethernet?
Yes. The 8ware CAT6 cable supports Gigabit Ethernet and 10-Gigabit Ethernet applications with its 250MHz bandwidth and Category 6 specification.
What does Fluke-tested mean?
Fluke testing is an industry-standard certification process that verifies the cable meets electrical performance specifications, including bandwidth, crosstalk, and signal integrity.
What does the 3-year warranty cover?
The warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship. Damage from misuse, environmental factors, or improper installation is typically not covered—refer to the full warranty terms for details.
