Overview
- The 8ware Cat 6 Ultra Thin Ethernet Cable delivers premium network connectivity in a space-efficient design. Built for high-density patch panel environments, this 15-metre red cable features gold-plated RJ45 connectors and meets rigorous Australian and international standards (ISO/IEC 11801, TIA/EIA-568-C.2). Each cable is Fluke-tested to ensure reliability.
With support for Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet, and 10-Gigabit Ethernet, this cable provides the bandwidth and performance modern business networks demand. The 250MHz specification and fully moulded strain-relief boot protect against signal degradation and physical wear, making it suitable for both new installations and network upgrades.
The ultra-thin profile is ideal for organisations managing multiple cable runs in confined spaces, such as server rooms and data centre facilities. Gold-plated connectors exceed Australian industry standards and ensure consistent signal integrity across your network infrastructure.

FAQs
What is the difference between Cat 6 and Cat 5e cables?
Cat 6 cables offer higher bandwidth (250MHz vs 100MHz for Cat 5e) and better protection against crosstalk and system noise. Cat 6 supports reliable Gigabit and 10-Gigabit Ethernet performance, making it suitable for modern business networks requiring higher data transfer speeds.
Why is the ultra-thin design beneficial?
The ultra-thin profile is designed for high-density patch panel setups where space is at a premium. It allows more cables to fit in the same physical space without compromising performance or requiring additional cable management infrastructure.
Are the connectors compatible with standard RJ45 ports?
Yes. The 8ware Cat 6 cable features standard RJ45 connectors and is compatible with all RJ45 network ports on switches, routers, computers, and other network devices.
What does Fluke-tested mean?
Fluke testing is an industry-standard method for verifying cable performance and compliance with category standards. It confirms that the cable meets specified bandwidth, crosstalk, and signal integrity requirements for reliable network operation.
Can this cable support 10-Gigabit Ethernet?
Yes. The Cat 6 specification and 250MHz bandwidth support 10-Gigabit Ethernet applications, though distance limitations apply. For reliable 10GbE performance over longer distances, Cat 6A is recommended.
Is the warranty genuine?
Yes. The cable comes with a 3-year manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship.
What is the wire gauge (AWG) specification?
The cable features 26AWG conductors, providing a good balance between flexibility (due to the ultra-thin design) and signal integrity for Cat 6 performance.
