Overview
- The 8ware CAT6 Ultra Thin Patch Cable delivers professional-grade networking performance in a compact form factor. Designed for high-density environments where space is at a premium, this 1-metre cable maintains full Category 6 specifications with 250MHz bandwidth support, making it suitable for Fast Ethernet, Gigabit, and 10-Gigabit applications.
Fluke-tested and manufactured with gold-plated connectors, this cable meets and exceeds Australian industry standards. The low-profile moulded boots and robust male-to-male connectors ensure reliable connections in demanding installation scenarios. T568A colour-coded configuration and staggered pin design minimise crosstalk and system noise, delivering consistent performance across your network infrastructure.
The ultra-thin design makes this cable an excellent choice for patch panels, server racks, and network closets where cable management and space optimisation are critical considerations. Whether upgrading existing infrastructure or building new installations, this cable provides the durability and performance required by IT professionals.

FAQs
What does 'ultra-thin' mean and why does it matter?
Ultra-thin cables have a reduced diameter compared to standard CAT6 cables, making them ideal for high-density patch panel installations where space is limited. They fit more cables in the same physical space without sacrificing performance or reliability.
Is this cable suitable for 10-Gigabit Ethernet?
Yes. This CAT6 cable supports 10-Gigabit Ethernet connections, along with Gigabit and Fast Ethernet. The 250MHz bandwidth and Category 6 specification provide the performance needed for modern high-speed networks.
What does Fluke testing mean?
Fluke testing is an industry-standard verification process that confirms a cable meets its specified performance characteristics. All 8ware CAT6 cables undergo this testing to ensure reliability and compliance with standards.
What is the difference between T568A and T568B wiring?
T568A and T568B are two wiring standards for ethernet cables. This cable uses T568A colour-coded configuration, which is the more common standard for modern network installations. Both standards work equally well when used consistently.
Do I need CAT6 or is CAT5e sufficient?
CAT6 is recommended for new installations and upgrades. It provides better performance at higher frequencies (250MHz vs 100MHz for CAT5e), more stable connections, and future-proofing for growing bandwidth demands in commercial environments.
What does the 3-year warranty cover?
The 3-year warranty covers manufacturing defects and failures under normal use. If the cable develops faults within this period, it can be replaced. Contact Hyetech Australia for warranty claim procedures.
Are the connectors really gold-plated?
Yes. The RJ45 connectors feature gold plating, which provides superior corrosion resistance and ensures reliable electrical contact compared to standard nickel-plated connectors. This is particularly important in demanding or high-humidity environments.
