Overview
- The 8ware CAT6 Ultra Thin Ethernet Cable is engineered for modern business networks where space and performance are critical. Its ultra-thin profile makes it the ideal choice for high-density patch panel environments where cable management and airflow are essential. At 20 metres, it provides flexible deployment options across office floors and data centres.
Built to ISO/IEC 11801 Category 6 standards, this cable supports Fast Ethernet, Gigabit, and 10-Gigabit Ethernet applications. Gold-plated connectors ensure superior signal integrity and reduced connection resistance, while Fluke testing provides independent verification of performance and reliability.
The cable features fully moulded, low-profile strain-relief boots that protect against damage whilst maintaining a compact footprint. The T568A colour-coded twisted-pair configuration ensures correct installation and compliance with Australian industry standards. With a 3-year warranty, it represents a cost-effective investment in reliable network infrastructure.

FAQs
What is the difference between Cat 5e, Cat 6, and Cat 6A cables?
Cat 6 cables, like this 8ware model, offer superior performance over Cat 5e with better crosstalk resistance, support for 10-Gigabit Ethernet, and frequencies up to 250 MHz. Cat 6A cables support higher frequencies and longer distances at 10 Gbps, but Cat 6 is suitable for most modern business networks.
Why is the ultra-thin design beneficial?
The ultra-thin profile is ideal for high-density patch panel installations where space is limited. It reduces cable bulk, improves airflow in patch panels, and simplifies cable management without compromising performance.
Is this cable suitable for gigabit internet speeds?
Yes. This Cat 6 cable supports Gigabit Ethernet (1 Gbps) and 10-Gigabit Ethernet, making it suitable for modern business networks and high-speed data transfer applications.
What does Fluke testing mean?
Fluke testing is an independent verification process that confirms the cable meets certified performance standards. It verifies signal integrity, connector quality, and compliance with Category 6 specifications.
Can I use this cable outdoors?
This is an indoor UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) cable. For outdoor applications, outdoor-rated or shielded cables are recommended to protect against environmental factors and interference.
Is the 20-metre length sufficient for my network setup?
A 20-metre cable is suitable for most office installations, connecting patch panels to workstations or network equipment across standard office layouts. For longer distances, consider ordering multiple cables or use network switches to extend range.
What does T568A colour-coding mean?
T568A is a standardised wiring colour sequence (White/Green, Green, White/Orange, Blue, White/Blue, Orange, White/Brown, Brown) that ensures correct pin alignment in RJ45 connectors. This 8ware cable follows this standard for reliable connectivity.
