Cat6 cables are designed for operating frequencies of up to 250 MHz and are used for signal transmission with high data transfer rates of up to 1 Gbps. Due to the high signal frequencies, special care is required 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. Application areas for Cat6 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).

A significant advantage of Slimpatch cables is their use in wiring racks and 48-port switches. Their extremely thin design and great flexibility help avoid cable clutter, keeping everything organized. A Wirewin Cat6 Slimpatch cable features a flexible and wide connector protection as well as length markings on both ends, ensuring order in your distribution cabinets. These cables are the optimal solution for connecting IP phones to your network. Thanks to their short connector and flexibility, they are ideally suited for this application. Despite their extremely thin construction, Power over Ethernet supply for the IP phones is also possible through these cables. Additionally, the cables are no longer flat as usual but now have a round shape.
