The 8Ware 20m Cat6 Ultra-Thin Slim Cable is designed for high-performance networking where a long reach meets a minimal footprint. At approximately half the thickness of a standard Cat6 cable, this 20-meter lead is incredibly easy to route through tight spaces, around corners, or inside crowded server racks. It is the ideal solution for professional IT environments and home office setups that require a clean, low-profile finish without sacrificing Gigabit speeds.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Ultra-Slim 28AWG Design: The reduced diameter allows for much higher cable density in patch panels and significantly better airflow in equipment racks compared to standard cabling.
-
Long-Reach Flexibility: At 20 meters, this cable is perfect for cross-room connections or routing through slim conduits where a thicker cable simply wouldn't fit.
-
Full Gigabit Performance: Fully compliant with Category 6 standards, supporting data transfer speeds of up to 1Gbps and a 250MHz bandwidth for reliable, lag-free connectivity.
-
Snagless RJ45 Connectors: Features gold-plated contacts for superior signal integrity and a snagless boot design to protect the locking clips during installation.
-
Professional Organization: The distinct blue jacket allows for easy cable identification and organization in complex network infrastructures.

Ideal Applications
- Running data to IP security cameras across large rooms or offices.
- Long-distance patching in high-density server environments.
- Neat home office setups where cables need to be hidden along skirting boards or under rugs.
- Temporary event networking where quick, flexible, and lightweight cabling is required.
Installation Tip: While 28AWG slim cables are excellent for high-speed data, for long-distance PoE (Power over Ethernet) applications over 20m, always ensure your PoE source has enough power to compensate for the higher resistance of thinner gauge wires.
