Cat6 cables are designed for operating frequencies up to 250 MHz. They are used for signal transmission at high data transfer rates (1 Gbps). Due to the high signal frequencies, special care must be taken during installation and assembly, particularly at the connection points of the wires. The individual wire pairs in Cat6 are twisted with varying tightness, which further reduces susceptibility to interference compared to Cat5e. Applications for Cat-6 cables include voice and data transmission as well as multimedia and ATM networks. Even more powerful are cables according to Cat6e (500 MHz) and Cat6a (625 MHz).

Slim patch cables offer a significant advantage when wiring racks and 48-port switches. Their extremely thin design and great flexibility help prevent cable clutter, allowing for better organization.

A Wirewin Cat6 slim patch cable features a flexible and wide connector protection as well as length markings on both ends. This helps you maintain some order in your distribution cabinets. They are the optimal solution for connecting IP phones to your network. With their short connector and flexibility, these cables are ideally suited for this application. Despite their extremely thin design, Power over Ethernet supply for IP phones is also possible through these cables. Additionally, the cables are no longer flat as usual – they now have a round shape.
