Overview
- The 8ware CAT6 Ultra Thin Ethernet Cable is engineered for modern network environments where space and performance are critical. At 20 metres, this cable combines the slim profile needed for crowded patch panels with the technical specifications required for demanding network applications.
Manufactured to ISO/IEC 11801 and TIA/EIA-568-C.2 standards, the cable supports data transmission speeds up to 250MHz, making it suitable for Fast Ethernet, Gigabit, and 10-Gigabit networks. Every cable is Fluke tested to ensure performance integrity before dispatch.
The gold-plated connectors, low-profile moulded boots, and robust male-to-male design provide durability and reliability in professional installations. The ultra-thin construction makes this cable ideal for organisations managing large numbers of connections in compact spaces without compromising on quality or speed.

FAQs
What is the difference between Cat6 and Cat5e cables?
Cat6 cables support higher data transmission speeds (up to 250MHz compared to Cat5e's 100MHz) and are better shielded against crosstalk and interference. Cat6 is recommended for 10-Gigabit Ethernet installations, whilst Cat5e typically supports Gigabit speeds.
Is this cable suitable for 10-Gigabit Ethernet networks?
Yes. The 8ware CAT6 Ultra Thin meets Category 6 specifications and is certified to support 10-Gigabit Ethernet networks, making it suitable for modern high-speed deployments.
Why choose an ultra-thin cable design?
Ultra-thin cables are ideal for high-density patch panel environments where space is limited. They provide the same performance as standard cables whilst taking up less physical space, improving cable management and installation flexibility.
Are the connectors gold-plated, and why does this matter?
Yes, the connectors are gold-plated. Gold plating improves conductivity, reduces corrosion, and ensures reliable connections over time, which is particularly important in professional network environments.
What does Fluke tested mean?
Fluke testing verifies that cables meet certified performance standards using professional testing equipment. It provides independent verification that the cable will perform as specified.
What is the warranty coverage?
The 8ware CAT6 Ultra Thin comes with a 3-year warranty covering manufacturing defects and performance issues.
Is this cable suitable for outdoor or high-temperature environments?
This is an indoor ethernet cable. For outdoor installations or high-temperature environments, contact Hyetech for specialised cabling solutions.
