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, careful installation and assembly are essential, especially at the connection points of the wires. The individual wire pairs in Cat6 cables are twisted at different tightness levels, further reducing 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 significant advantage of slim patch cables is their use in cabling racks and 48-port switches. Their extremely thin design and great flexibility help avoid cable clutter, allowing for better organization. A Wirewin Cat6 slim patch cable is about six times thinner than a conventional patch cable, enabling you to restore some order in your distribution cabinets.

Slim patch cables are also well-suited for installation under PVC floors, carpets, as well as laminate or parquet flooring. They are the optimal solution for connecting IP phones to your network. With their short connector and flexibility, these cables are ideal for this application. Despite their extremely thin design, Power over Ethernet supply for IP phones is also possible through these cables.
