Overview
- The 8ware CAT6 Ultra Thin Patch Cable delivers professional-grade performance in a compact form factor. This 2-metre yellow cable is engineered for environments where space is at a premium, such as high-density data centre patch panels and network cabinets. Each cable is Fluke-tested during manufacture and fitted with gold-plated connectors that meet and exceed Australian industry standards.
Built to ISO/IEC 11801 and TIA/EIA-568-C.2 Category 6 specifications, this cable supports speeds up to 250MHz and is suitable for Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet, and 10-Gigabit Ethernet applications. The 26AWG multi-strand conductors are arranged in four twisted pairs with T568A colour-coded configuration to minimise crosstalk and system noise.
The low-profile flush moulded boots and fully moulded strain-relief design ensure durability and easy installation in tight spaces. Whether you're building a new network infrastructure or upgrading an existing one, this cable provides reliable performance backed by a 3-year warranty.

FAQs
What makes this cable 'ultra-thin' compared to standard Cat6 cables?
The 8ware Ultra Thin design uses a slimmer jacket while maintaining full Cat6 performance specifications. This compact form factor makes it ideal for high-density patch panel installations where space is limited, allowing more cables to fit in the same rack space.
Is this cable suitable for 10-Gigabit Ethernet?
Yes. This Cat6 cable supports 10-Gigabit Ethernet and is rated to 250MHz, making it suitable for Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet, and 10-Gigabit Ethernet applications.
Why are the connectors gold-plated?
Gold-plated connectors provide superior corrosion resistance, improved conductivity, and longer-lasting performance compared to standard nickel-plated connectors. This is particularly important in professional data centre environments.
What does Fluke-tested mean?
Fluke testing is industry-standard cable certification that verifies the cable meets all Cat6 performance specifications for signal quality, crosstalk, and noise. All 8ware cables undergo this testing during manufacture to ensure reliability.
What is the difference between T568A and T568B wiring?
This cable uses T568A colour-coded configuration, which is the standard wiring sequence in Australia and many countries. T568A and T568B are two different wiring patterns; consistency in your network is more important than which one you choose.
Can I use this cable for PoE (Power over Ethernet) applications?
Cat6 cables are capable of supporting PoE applications. However, verify that your specific PoE equipment is compatible with Cat6 specifications and that power delivery requirements are within safe limits for the cable gauge.
How long is the warranty?
The 8ware CAT6 Ultra Thin Cable comes with a 3-year warranty covering manufacturing defects.
What does ISO/IEC 11801 compliance mean?
ISO/IEC 11801 is the international standard for structured cabling systems. This certification confirms the cable meets strict performance, construction, and safety requirements for professional network installations.
