Overview
- The 8ware CAT6 Ultra Thin Ethernet Cable is engineered for modern IT infrastructure where space and performance are both critical. Its reduced diameter profile allows installation in high-density patch panels without compromising on speed or reliability.
Every cable is Fluke tested and manufactured with gold-plated connectors that meet and exceed Australian industry standards. The 8-conductor, 4 twisted-pair configuration with T568A colour coding delivers 250MHz bandwidth performance, making it suitable for Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet, and 10-Gigabit Ethernet applications.
The fully moulded strain-relief boot with low-profile design protects connections from damage whilst maintaining a neat cable management appearance. At 20 metres, this cable is suitable for most commercial and data centre environments requiring robust, standards-compliant network infrastructure.

FAQs
What is the difference between CAT6 and other Ethernet cable categories?
CAT6 cables provide 250MHz bandwidth and superior crosstalk protection compared to CAT5e. They support Gigabit and 10-Gigabit Ethernet with better performance over longer distances, making them ideal for modern high-speed networks.
Why choose an ultra-thin CAT6 cable?
Ultra-thin cables reduce cable diameter without sacrificing performance. They're designed for high-density patch panel environments where space is limited, allowing easier cable management and neater installations.
Is this cable suitable for 10-Gigabit Ethernet?
Yes. The 8ware CAT6 cable is fully compliant with Category 6 standards and supports 10-Gigabit Ethernet applications, though performance depends on installation distance and environmental conditions.
What does 'Fluke tested' mean?
Fluke testing is an independent certification verifying that the cable meets Category 6 performance standards for bandwidth, crosstalk, and signal integrity. It ensures guaranteed reliability and quality.
What are the compliance standards for this cable?
The cable complies with ISO/IEC 11801 Category 6 and TIA/EIA-568-C.2 Category 6 standards, meeting and exceeding Australian industry requirements for network infrastructure.
What is the maximum recommended distance for this cable?
CAT6 cables are typically rated for up to 100 metres for Gigabit Ethernet. For 10-Gigabit applications, optimal performance is achieved within shorter distances. Consult network design guidelines for your specific use case.
Does the cable come with a warranty?
Yes, the 8ware CAT6 Ultra Thin Cable includes a 3-year warranty covering manufacturing defects and performance compliance.
