Overview
- The 8ware CAT6 Ultra Thin Ethernet Cable combines performance with practical space-saving design. At 15 metres, this yellow patch cord is engineered for high-density network environments where every millimetre of cabinet space counts. The ultra-thin profile does not compromise quality—each cable is Fluke tested and fitted with gold-plated connectors that meet and exceed Australian standards.
Cat6 technology delivers superior performance compared to Cat5e, supporting up to 250MHz bandwidth and reliable operation across Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet, and emerging 10-Gigabit networks. The fully moulded strain-relief boots and robust male-to-male connectors ensure durability in active network environments.
Manufactured with eight multi-strand conductors in T568A colour-coded configuration, this cable is ideal for structured cabling installations, data centres, server rooms, and commercial premises. The 3-year warranty provides peace of mind for critical network infrastructure.

FAQs
What is the difference between Cat6 and Cat5e Ethernet cables?
Cat6 cables support higher frequencies (250MHz vs 100MHz for Cat5e) and better crosstalk rejection, making them suitable for Gigabit and 10-Gigabit Ethernet. Cat6 is the preferred choice for modern network installations and future-proofing.
Why is the ultra-thin design important for network installations?
In high-density patch panels and server racks, space is limited. Ultra-thin cables allow more connections in the same physical footprint without compromising cable bend radius or performance, improving cable management and installation efficiency.
Are these cables suitable for 10-Gigabit Ethernet?
Yes. These Cat6 cables are compliant with standards supporting Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet, and 10-Gigabit Ethernet, making them suitable for high-performance networks requiring maximum speed.
What does Fluke tested mean?
Fluke testing is an industry-standard verification process that confirms the cable meets Cat6 specifications for signal integrity, crosstalk, and performance. It provides assurance of quality and reliability.
What is the 3-year warranty coverage?
The warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship. It ensures the cable performs to Cat6 standards throughout the warranty period.
Can I use this cable for outdoor installations?
This is an indoor UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) cable. For outdoor or exposed installations, consult the manufacturer regarding environmental ratings or consider outdoor-rated alternatives.
Is this cable compatible with standard RJ45 networking equipment?
Yes. The cable features standard RJ45 connectors and is fully compatible with any networking equipment requiring Cat6 Ethernet connections, including switches, routers, servers, and network interface cards.
