Wirewin Network cable

The Slim patch cables from Wirewin are a solution for various cabling issues. Although they visually resemble flat ribbon cables, the Slim patch cables achieve the performance standards of Category 6, making them suitable for 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, and 1000BASE-T/TX applications, including Gigabit Ethernet. Three Slim patch cables have only the diameter of a single standard Cat5e patch cable. Despite their extremely thin design, the cable features twisted pairs. Additionally, it has a wide, flexible strain relief and a practical length print on both ends, supporting Power over Ethernet (PoE).

A typical application area for the Slim patch cables is crowded server and network cabinets or cable ducts. They are also recommended for telephone panels in server areas where high port densities exist, or for connecting VoIP phones. Furthermore, the Slim patch cables are ideal for transport in tight spaces, such as in laptop bags. They are also suitable for installation under carpets or laminate flooring.

Cat 6 cables are designed for operating frequencies up to 250 MHz and are often used in professional environments. While transmission speed can suffer over longer lengths, slight excess lengths are generally acceptable depending on external influences. Application fields for Cat 6 include voice and data transmission as well as multimedia and ATM networks. This STP cable is a symmetrical cable with twisted and shielded pairs. Shielded cables exhibit minimal impedance or reactance deviations compared to unshielded ones. The transmission parameters remain relatively constant even at high frequencies and are better than those of UTP cables.
