Overview
- The 8ware CAT6 Ultra Thin Ethernet Cable delivers professional-grade network performance in a space-saving design. At just 2 metres in length with an ultra-slim profile, it's purpose-built for high-density patch panels where every millimetre counts. The cable maintains full Category 6 compliance with 250MHz bandwidth capacity, supporting Fast Ethernet, Gigabit, and 10-Gigabit network speeds.
Manufactured with gold-plated connectors and Fluke-tested for integrity, this cable exceeds Australian industry standards. The staggered 2-row pin design minimises crosstalk and system noise, ensuring signal quality in complex network environments. Low-profile moulded strain-relief boots provide durable protection at connection points without adding bulk.
Ideal for data centres, server rooms, and commercial installations where reliability and space efficiency are critical, this cable offers a practical solution for modern networking demands.

FAQs
What is the difference between CAT6 and other Ethernet cable types?
CAT6 cables support higher bandwidth (250MHz) and faster data speeds compared to CAT5e. They feature more stringent specifications for crosstalk and system noise, making them ideal for Gigabit and 10-Gigabit Ethernet networks. This cable exceeds Australian industry standards.
Why is ultra-thin cable design important for patch panels?
Ultra-thin cables allow for higher density installations where space is limited. They reduce clutter and make cable management easier, particularly in data centres and server rooms with extensive networking requirements.
Are gold-plated connectors necessary?
Gold-plated connectors resist corrosion and oxidation, ensuring reliable connections over time. They provide superior contact quality and help maintain signal integrity, especially in environments subject to temperature or humidity fluctuations.
What does 'Fluke tested' mean?
Fluke testing is an independent verification process that confirms the cable meets Category 6 performance standards. It ensures the cable can reliably support the speeds and bandwidth it claims.
Is this cable suitable for 10-Gigabit Ethernet?
Yes, CAT6 cables with 250MHz bandwidth support 10-Gigabit Ethernet. This cable is compatible with legacy networks (Fast Ethernet) as well as modern high-speed installations.
What does the 3-year warranty cover?
The warranty covers manufacturing defects and failure due to normal use. For specific warranty terms and conditions, please contact Hyetech Australia customer support.
Is this cable suitable for outdoor use?
This is an indoor patch cable designed for use in controlled environments such as offices, data centres, and server rooms. For outdoor installations, consider UV-resistant and weather-rated cable options.
