Overview
- The 8ware CAT6 Ultra Thin Slim Cable delivers professional-grade network connectivity in a compact form factor. At 2 metres, this cable is purpose-built for high-density patch panel environments where space efficiency matters. Each cable features gold-plated RJ45 connectors, 26AWG multi-strand conductors, and has been Fluke-tested to ensure consistent performance.
Designed to exceed Australian industry standards, the cable meets ISO/IEC 11801 and TIA/EIA-568-C.2 Category 6 specifications, providing performance up to 250MHz. This makes it suitable for Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet, and 10-Gigabit Ethernet installations. The ultra-thin profile reduces cable bulk without compromising durability, while the fully moulded strain-relief boot and low-profile connectors protect against damage and maintain neat installations.
Ideal for data centres, server rooms, and organisations needing reliable, standards-compliant patch cords, this cable combines technical performance with practical design for modern network infrastructure.

FAQs
What is the difference between CAT6 and other Ethernet cable categories?
CAT6 cables provide higher performance specifications with better crosstalk and noise rejection compared to CAT5e. They support frequencies up to 250MHz and are suitable for 10-Gigabit Ethernet, making them ideal for future-proofing network infrastructure.
Why choose an ultra-thin cable design?
Ultra-thin cables are specifically designed for high-density patch panel installations where space is limited. They reduce cable bulk without compromising performance, making them essential for data centres and server rooms.
What does Fluke-tested mean?
Fluke-tested indicates the cable has been certified using industry-standard Fluke testing equipment to verify performance, integrity, and compliance with category specifications. This ensures reliable network connectivity.
Are the connectors gold-plated, and why does this matter?
Yes, the RJ45 connectors feature gold plating, which provides superior conductivity and corrosion resistance compared to standard connectors. This ensures reliable signal transmission and longer connector lifespan.
What does the 3-year warranty cover?
The 3-year warranty covers manufacturing defects and performance issues. For specific warranty terms and conditions, please contact Hyetech Australia.
Is this cable suitable for 10-Gigabit Ethernet networks?
Yes, this CAT6 cable supports 10-Gigabit Ethernet performance. Its 250MHz frequency specification and Category 6 compliance make it suitable for high-speed network installations.
What is the T568A colour-coding standard?
T568A is an industry standard for arranging and terminating Ethernet cable conductors. It ensures proper signal transmission and compatibility with network equipment. This cable is pre-terminated with T568A colour-coded conductors.
