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 wire pairs in Cat6 are twisted with varying tightness, 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).

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, maintaining organization.

A Wirewin Cat6 Slim Tough cable features a flexible and wide connector protection as well as a robust nylon sheath. They are the optimal solution for connecting IP phones to your network. Thanks to the nylon sheath, the cables can be easily untangled and are well-suited for mobile applications, such as connecting a laptop or as a travel companion.

The AWG (American Wire Gauge) system is based on the manufacturing process of wires and indicates the conductor thickness of the copper wire. AWG36 corresponds to a conductor cross-section of 0.0127 mm².
