Overview
- The 8ware CAT6 Ultra Thin Cable delivers premium Ethernet connectivity in a space-saving design. At 15 metres, it spans typical office and server environments whilst maintaining a slim profile that fits easily into crowded patch panels and cable trays. This is particularly valuable for high-density installations where cable management and airflow are critical.
Manufactured to ISO/IEC 11801 and TIA/EIA-568-C.2 Category 6 standards, the cable supports data speeds up to 250MHz, making it suitable for current and near-future network demands including Gigabit and 10-Gigabit Ethernet applications. Fluke testing confirms performance integrity, and gold-plated connectors resist oxidation and corrosion, ensuring consistent signal quality over time.
The fully moulded strain-relief boot and robust male-to-male RJ45 connectors protect against accidental disconnection and physical damage. These professional-grade features make it the ideal choice for businesses requiring reliable, standards-compliant network infrastructure without compromise.

FAQs
What is the difference between Cat6 and Cat5e cables?
Cat6 cables support higher bandwidth (250MHz vs 100MHz) and are engineered with stricter specifications for crosstalk and system noise. This makes them suitable for Gigabit and 10-Gigabit Ethernet, whereas Cat5e is limited to Gigabit applications.
Is the ultra-thin design suitable for all patch panels?
Yes. The ultra-thin design is specifically engineered for high-density patch panel installations where space is limited. The low-profile moulded boots ensure compatibility with standard rack-mounted patch panels.
Why are gold-plated connectors important?
Gold plating prevents oxidation and corrosion of the connector pins, which can degrade signal quality over time. This ensures long-term reliability and consistent performance in your network infrastructure.
What does Fluke testing mean?
Fluke testing is an industry-standard verification process that confirms the cable meets performance specifications for bandwidth, attenuation, and signal integrity. It provides assurance that the cable will perform reliably in your network.
Can this cable be used for 10-Gigabit Ethernet?
Yes. The cable is Category 6 compliant and supports 10-Gigabit Ethernet, though performance may be optimised over shorter distances. For maximum 10-Gigabit performance over longer runs, Cat6A is recommended.
Is the 15-metre length suitable for my installation?
15 metres is suitable for most office and server room installations, covering standard distances between walls, patch panels, and network equipment. Verify your cable run distance before ordering.
What warranty is included?
The cable includes a 3-year manufacturer's warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship.
