Overview
- The 8ware CAT6 Ultra Thin Ethernet Cable delivers high-performance network connectivity in a compact form factor. The ultra-thin design makes it ideal for high-density patch panel installations where space is at a premium, without compromising on performance or reliability.
Built to ISO/IEC 11801 Category 6 standards, this cable supports speeds up to 10 Gigabit Ethernet with a 250MHz bandwidth specification. Gold-plated RJ45 connectors and multi-strand conductors ensure superior signal integrity and reduced crosstalk, meeting and exceeding Australian industry standards.
The fully moulded strain-relief boot with low-profile flush design protects the connection from damage whilst minimising footprint in crowded patch panels. Fluke tested during manufacturing, each cable is verified for performance before shipment, giving IT teams confidence in network reliability.

FAQs
What is the difference between CAT6 and CAT5e cables?
CAT6 cables support higher bandwidth (250MHz vs 100MHz) and faster speeds up to 10 Gigabit Ethernet, compared to CAT5e which maxes out at 1 Gigabit Ethernet. CAT6 also has more stringent specifications for crosstalk and system noise, making it better for future-proofing network infrastructure.
Why choose an ultra-thin CAT6 cable?
Ultra-thin cables are designed for high-density environments such as data centres and server rooms where space is limited. They maintain full CAT6 performance whilst taking up less room in patch panels and cable trays, making cable management easier and neater.
Are the connectors gold-plated?
Yes, the RJ45 connectors are gold-plated. Gold plating improves conductivity and corrosion resistance, ensuring reliable connections over the life of the cable.
What does Fluke tested mean?
Fluke testing is an industry-standard verification process that confirms the cable meets performance specifications for bandwidth, impedance, and signal integrity. Each cable is tested before shipment to ensure reliability.
Is this cable suitable for 10 Gigabit Ethernet?
Yes, CAT6 cables can support 10 Gigabit Ethernet. This cable is rated for Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet, and 10-Gigabit Ethernet applications.
What does ISO/IEC 11801 compliance mean?
ISO/IEC 11801 is the international standard for generic cabling infrastructure. Compliance ensures the cable meets global performance and safety requirements for network installations.
What is included in the 3-year warranty?
The 3-year warranty covers manufacturing defects in the cable and connectors. If the cable fails due to faulty materials or workmanship within 3 years of purchase, it will be repaired or replaced.
