Cat6 cables are designed for operating frequencies of up to 250 MHz. They are used for signal transmission with 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 pairs of wires in Cat6 cables are twisted at different tightness levels, which further reduces susceptibility to interference compared to Cat5e. Applications 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 major advantage of Slimpatch cables is their use in the cabling of racks and 48-port switches. Their extremely thin design and high flexibility help avoid cable clutter and maintain organization. A Wirewin Cat6 Slimpatch cable features a flexible and wide connector protection as well as a length print on both ends. This allows you to finally regain 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 construction, Power over Ethernet supply for IP phones is also possible through these cables. Additionally, the cables are no longer flat as usual – they have a round shape.
