These cables are designed for operating frequencies up to 250 MHz. They are used for signal transmission with high data transfer rates of 1 Gbps. Due to the high signal frequencies, careful installation and assembly is particularly important, especially at the connection points of the wires. The individual pairs of wires in Cat6 are twisted with varying tightness, which further reduces susceptibility to interference compared to Cat5e. Application areas 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).

A significant advantage of Slimpatch cables is their use in the cabling of racks and 48-port switches. Thanks to their extremely thin design and great flexibility, they help avoid cable clutter and maintain organization. A Wirewin Cat6 Slimpatch cable is about 6 times thinner than a conventional patch cable, features a flexible and wide connector protection, and has a length print on both ends. This way, you can finally regain some order in your distribution cabinets.

Slimpatch cables are also very well suited for installation under PVC floors, carpets, as well as laminate or parquet floors. 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 construction, Power over Ethernet supply for IP phones is also possible through these cables.
