8ware - CAT6 Ultra Thin Slim Premium RJ45 Ethernet Cable - Blue - 10M

8ware CAT6 Ultra Thin Slim Premium RJ45 Ethernet Cable – Blue – 10 m

General Description

The 8ware CAT6 Ultra Thin Slim Ethernet Cable provides fast and reliable wired network connectivity while taking up less space than a standard network cable. Its slim 26AWG construction makes it particularly useful for high-density patch panels, network cabinets, offices and home entertainment installations where cable management is important.

Supporting bandwidth of up to 250MHz, the cable is suitable for Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet and compatible 10-Gigabit Ethernet connections. Premium gold-plated RJ45 connectors help provide reliable signal transmission, while the moulded low-profile boots offer strain relief and a clean installation.

Additional Information

Slim Cable Design

The ultra-thin construction reduces cable congestion and makes routing easier behind desks, entertainment units and network equipment. It is also useful in high-density patch panels where multiple conventional cables may occupy excessive space.

Network Performance

CAT6 performance of up to 250MHz makes the cable suitable for everyday internet access, local network transfers, streaming, online gaming, IP cameras and business network connections.

Actual connection speed depends on the connected router, switch, network adapter and overall network configuration.

Device Compatibility

Compatible with equipment using standard RJ45 Ethernet ports, including:

• Desktop and laptop computers
• Routers and modems
• Network switches
• Wireless access points
• Smart televisions
• Gaming consoles
• Network-attached storage devices
• Patch panels
• Compatible IP cameras and other network devices

Installation Advice

• Connect each RJ45 plug firmly until the retaining clip clicks into position
• Avoid tight bends, crushing or pulling the cable excessively
• Keep the cable away from high-voltage wiring and strong sources of electrical interference
• Use the blue jacket to identify or colour-code specific network connections
• Confirm that both connected devices support the required network speed

Important PoE Notice

This ultra-thin 26AWG model is marketed primarily as a data cable. It is not recommended for Power over Ethernet applications unless compatibility has been confirmed with the equipment manufacturer and the installation’s power requirements.

Network speed and performance depend on the connected equipment, cable routing and network configuration. Product appearance may vary slightly from the images shown.
