Overview
- The 8ware Cat6 Ultra Thin Ethernet Cable delivers professional-grade network performance in a space-saving form factor. At 3 metres in length with an ultra-thin profile, it's engineered specifically for high-density patch panel environments where cable routing space is at a premium.
Built to exceed Australian industry standards, this cable features gold-plated RJ45 connectors and Fluke-tested construction to ensure reliable data transmission. The Cat6 specification supports Gigabit and 10-Gigabit Ethernet speeds with performance up to 250 MHz, making it suitable for modern networking requirements from Fast Ethernet through to enterprise-grade connectivity.
The fully moulded strain-relief boot with low-profile flush design protects the connectors whilst maintaining the slim profile needed for tight cable management scenarios. Constructed with 26 AWG multi-strand conductors in standard T568A colour-coded configuration, it meets TIA/EIA-568-C.2 specifications and integrates seamlessly into any professional network infrastructure.

FAQs
What is the difference between Cat6 and Cat5e cables?
Cat6 cables offer superior performance with bandwidth up to 250 MHz compared to Cat5e's 100 MHz. Cat6 provides better crosstalk protection and is recommended for Gigabit and 10-Gigabit Ethernet installations, making it ideal for modern networks.
Why choose an ultra-thin Cat6 cable?
Ultra-thin cables are designed for high-density patch panel environments where space is limited. They allow more cables to be routed efficiently without compromising on performance or durability.
Is this cable suitable for 10-Gigabit Ethernet?
Yes. The 8ware Cat6 cable supports 10-Gigabit Ethernet speeds and is Fluke tested to ensure reliable performance at higher data rates.
What does 'Fluke tested' mean?
Fluke testing is an industry standard certification that verifies the cable meets or exceeds performance specifications. It confirms the cable will perform reliably for network applications.
Why are gold-plated connectors important?
Gold-plated connectors provide superior conductivity, reduce oxidation, and improve connection reliability over time. They ensure consistent signal quality and reduce the risk of connection failures.
What is T568A colour coding?
T568A is a standard wiring configuration for Ethernet cables that defines the order of wire colours. It ensures compatibility with network equipment and allows cables to be terminated to industry standards.
Can I use this cable for PoE (Power over Ethernet) devices?
Yes. Cat6 cables support Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications, allowing you to power compatible devices such as IP cameras, access points, and VoIP phones alongside data transmission.
