Overview
- The 8ware CAT6 Ultra Thin Slim Cable delivers reliable, high-performance network connectivity in a space-efficient format. At just 0.25m long, this red patch cord is engineered for high-density patch panel environments where vertical space is at a premium. The ultra-thin profile doesn't compromise on performance—it meets CAT6 standards and supports Fast Ethernet, Gigabit, and 10-Gigabit Ethernet, ensuring future-ready connectivity.
Built to Australian industry standards, the cable features gold-plated RJ45 connectors that resist corrosion and deliver consistent signal integrity. Every cable is Fluke tested for performance verification, giving IT managers confidence in network reliability. The low-profile flush moulded boots and fully moulded strain-relief design protect against damage during installation and daily operation.
Ideal for server rooms, data centres, and network infrastructure projects where organisation and reliability matter, the 8ware CAT6 Ultra Thin Slim Cable combines proven CAT6 performance with practical space-saving design.

FAQs
What is the difference between CAT6 and other cable types?
CAT6 cables support higher bandwidth and faster data transmission than CAT5e, with performance up to 250MHz. They feature more stringent specifications for crosstalk and system noise, making them suitable for Gigabit and 10-Gigabit Ethernet networks.
Why choose ultra-thin cables for patch panels?
Ultra-thin cables reduce bulk and save valuable vertical space in high-density patch panel environments. They allow for better airflow, easier cable management, and more efficient use of rack space in server rooms and data centres.
Are gold-plated connectors important?
Yes. Gold-plated connectors resist corrosion and oxidation, ensuring reliable signal transmission over time and reducing connection failures caused by degraded contact surfaces.
What does Fluke tested mean?
Fluke testing is an industry-standard verification process that confirms the cable meets CAT6 performance specifications. It assures buyers that the cable delivers reliable connectivity and data transmission integrity.
Is this cable suitable for 10-Gigabit Ethernet?
Yes. The 8ware CAT6 cable is designed to support 10-Gigabit Ethernet, making it suitable for high-speed network infrastructure and future-ready installations.
What is the T568A colour code?
T568A is one of two standard wire colour sequences for ethernet cables. The conductors are arranged in a specific order to ensure proper data transmission and network compatibility across installations.
