Product Features
Technical Overview
This CAT6 patch cable supports Gigabit Ethernet applications with a 1-foot (0.30 m) length, making it suitable for connecting adjacent equipment in racks, cabinets, or desktop setups. The 28 AWG stranded copper conductors maintain signal integrity while offering increased flexibility compared to thicker gauges, and the tight buffer construction reduces crosstalk for stable network performance.
The RJ45 connectors feature 50-micron gold plating on the contacts to ensure reliable electrical connectivity and corrosion resistance. The snagless boot design protects the connector latch during installation and removal, preventing accidental breakage in high-density environments.
This section brings together practical product details such as Cable Type, Cable Characteristic, Cable Length, Color Family, so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.

- Ideal for high-density patch panels
- Reduces cable clutter in racks
Reliable Connectivity
Gold-plated RJ45 contacts and CAT6 compliance ensure consistent Gigabit Ethernet performance with minimized signal loss and crosstalk.
- 50-micron gold plating on connectors
- Meets ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 standards
- Supports 10/100/1000 Mbps networks
Deployment / Use Cases
This 1-foot CAT6 patch cable is designed for short-distance network connections where space optimization and reliable performance are critical. Its compact length and slim profile make it perfect for connecting switches to patch panels in rack-mounted environments, linking adjacent servers in data centers, or joining networking equipment on crowded desks.
The gray color provides neutral visual integration in professional settings, while the LSZH jacket offers added safety in commercial installations. IT administrators will appreciate the snagless connectors when working in high-density patch panels, as they prevent accidental latch damage during frequent cable changes.
Data Center & Server Room Applications
Use for connecting top-of-rack switches to patch panels or linking nearby servers where minimal cable length reduces clutter and improves airflow management.
Office & Workspace Networking
Ideal for connecting computers to wall outlets, linking network printers to switches, or joining networking equipment in compact office setups where longer cables would create excess slack.
Physical Profile
This gray CAT6 patch cable features a slim LSZH jacket that measures 1 foot (0.30 m) in length and weighs approximately 0.40 oz (11.34 g). The compact design and lightweight construction make it easy to handle and install, while the neutral gray color blends seamlessly with most networking equipment and environments. The snagless boot design adds practical durability without increasing the connector footprint.

FAQ
What is the length of this CAT6 patch cable?
This StarTech.com patch cable measures 1 foot (0.30 meters) in length, making it ideal for short-distance connections between adjacent network equipment in racks, cabinets, or desktop setups where longer cables would create unnecessary slack.
What type of connectors does this cable have?
Both ends feature standard RJ45 male connectors with snagless boots to protect the latch during installation. The connectors have 50-micron gold-plated contacts for reliable electrical connectivity and corrosion resistance in network environments.
Is this cable shielded?
No, this CAT6 patch cable is unshielded (UTP). It relies on twisted pair construction and tight buffer design to minimize crosstalk and interference, which is sufficient for most office and data center environments where shielded cables aren't required.
What does the 28 AWG specification mean?
28 AWG (American Wire Gauge) indicates the thickness of the copper conductors inside the cable. This thinner gauge makes the cable 36% slimmer than standard patch cords, providing greater flexibility for routing in tight spaces while still maintaining Gigabit Ethernet performance.
What is LSZH jacket material?
LSZH stands for Low Smoke Zero Halogen, a type of cable jacket that produces minimal smoke and no toxic halogen gases when exposed to fire. This makes it safer for use in commercial buildings, data centers, and other enclosed spaces where fire safety is a concern.
What network speeds does this CAT6 cable support?
This cable meets CAT6 specifications and supports Gigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000 Mbps) networks. It's backward compatible with CAT5e and CAT5 equipment while providing better performance and reduced crosstalk for reliable data transmission up to 1 Gbps.
