Overview
- The 8ware CAT6 Ultra Thin Patch Cable delivers professional-grade network connectivity in a space-saving design. With its ultra-thin profile, it's specifically engineered for high-density patch panel environments where cable space is at a premium, without compromising on performance or durability.
Built with gold-plated connectors and Fluke-tested construction, this cable meets and exceeds Australian industry standards for Cat6 performance. It supports Fast Ethernet, Gigabit, and 10-Gigabit speeds with a performance specification of up to 250 MHz, making it suitable for modern business networks.
The fully moulded strain-relief boots and low-profile flush design protect against damage and cable strain, whilst the multi-strand conductors in T568A configuration ensure stable, long-term performance. Backed by a 3-year warranty, this cable is ideal for IT professionals installing or expanding reliable network infrastructure.

FAQs
What is the difference between Cat6 and other cable categories?
Cat6 offers better performance specifications and stricter standards for crosstalk and system noise compared to Cat5e. It supports speeds up to 10-Gigabit Ethernet and performs reliably up to 250 MHz, making it suitable for modern business networks.
Why is an ultra-thin cable beneficial?
Ultra-thin cables are ideal for high-density patch panel installations where space is limited. They allow more cables to fit in the same area without compromising on performance, making cable management and maintenance easier.
What does Fluke-tested mean?
Fluke-tested means the cable has been independently tested using Fluke network testing equipment to verify it meets Cat6 performance standards and performs reliably for data transmission.
Is this cable suitable for 10-Gigabit Ethernet?
Yes, this Cat6 cable is compliant with Cat6 standards and supports 10-Gigabit Ethernet speeds, though for optimal 10G performance over longer distances, Cat6A may be preferred.
What is T568A configuration?
T568A is a standardised colour-coding configuration for Ethernet cables that ensures proper pin alignment at both RJ45 connectors. This cable uses this configuration for reliable, standards-compliant connectivity.
Does the gold-plated connector improve performance?
Gold-plated connectors resist corrosion and oxidation, ensuring stable electrical contact and long-term reliability. This is especially important in high-density installations where cables may be connected and disconnected frequently.
What is the warranty period?
This cable is backed by a 3-year manufacturer's warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship.
