Overview
- The 8ware CAT6 Ultra Thin Ethernet Cable delivers professional-grade network connectivity in a compact form factor. Designed for environments where space efficiency matters, the ultra-thin profile fits seamlessly into crowded patch panels without compromising performance or reliability.
Built to Category 6 specifications, this cable supports network speeds up to 10-Gigabit Ethernet with a 250MHz bandwidth capacity. The gold-plated RJ45 connectors are manufactured to exceed Australian industry standards and have been Fluke tested to ensure consistent quality and durability.
With low-profile flush moulded boots and comprehensive strain-relief protection, the cable withstands the demands of active network environments. The 3-metre length suits typical rack-to-device distances in server rooms, data centres, and office installations. At just 3 metres, it reduces cable clutter while maintaining signal integrity across twisted-pair conductors in T568A configuration.

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 vs Gigabit only). Cat6 also has stricter specifications for crosstalk and system noise, making it suitable for future-proof network infrastructure.
Can this cable be used for 10-Gigabit Ethernet?
Yes. The 8ware CAT6 Ultra Thin cable is rated for 10-Gigabit Ethernet applications. At 3 metres, it supports the full performance specifications of Cat6 cabling.
Why is the ultra-thin design beneficial?
Ultra-thin cables are essential in high-density patch panel environments where space is limited. They allow more cables to fit in the same physical area without pinching, kinking, or compromising signal integrity.
What does gold-plated mean and why does it matter?
Gold plating on RJ45 connectors prevents corrosion and oxidation, ensuring reliable electrical contact over time. This improves signal quality and extends the lifespan of network connections, particularly in humid or demanding environments.
Is this cable suitable for outdoor or industrial use?
This cable is designed for indoor network installations such as data centres, server rooms, and office environments. It is not rated for outdoor or extreme industrial applications.
What does Fluke tested mean?
Fluke testing is an industry-standard certification that verifies the cable meets performance specifications for its category. It confirms the cable will deliver reliable data transmission at rated speeds and frequencies.
What length options are available?
The 8ware CAT6 Ultra Thin range is available in multiple lengths. This listing is for the 3-metre version; other lengths may be available separately.
