Cat6 cables are designed for operating frequencies up to 250 MHz. They are used for signal transmission at high data rates (1 Gbps). Due to the high signal frequencies, careful handling is required during installation and assembly, especially at the connection points of the wires. The individual wire pairs in Cat6 cables are twisted at different tightness levels, 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 cabling racks and 48-port switches. Their extremely thin construction and high flexibility help prevent cable clutter, allowing for better organization. A Wirewin Cat6 Slimpatch cable features a flexible and wide strain relief as well as length markings on both ends. This way, you can finally achieve 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 (PoE) supply for IP phones is also possible through these cables. Additionally, the cables are no longer flat as usual, but have a round shape. 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.
