Product Features
Technical Overview
This CAT6 patch cable supports data transfer rates up to 1 Gbit/s across its 10-foot length, utilizing four twisted pairs of 28AWG bare copper wire. The unshielded twisted pair (UTP) construction maintains signal integrity while the slim profile reduces bulk in cable trays and racks.
The cable's 50-micron gold-plated contacts provide corrosion-resistant connectivity, and the snagless connector design prevents damage during installation and removal. With a cable outer diameter of 3.6mm (0.14in), this slim design offers greater flexibility than standard CAT6 cabling without compromising performance.
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.

FAQ
What is the advantage of a slim CAT6 cable compared to standard CAT6?
This slim CAT6 cable has a 36% smaller diameter than standard CAT6 cables, which significantly improves cable management in dense network environments. The reduced bulk allows for better organization in cable trays and racks, enhances accessibility for troubleshooting, and promotes improved airflow between devices for better thermal management.
Can this cable support Power over Ethernet (PoE) devices?
Yes, this cable supports Power over Ethernet up to PoE++ (90W) and complies with IEEE 802.3bt Type 4 specifications. The 28AWG pure bare copper conductors ensure consistent power delivery to PoE devices such as IP cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP phones while maintaining data integrity throughout the 10-foot length.
What does LSZH jacket mean and why is it important?
LSZH stands for Low-Smoke Zero Halogen, which refers to the cable's jacket material that emits minimal toxic fumes and smoke if combusted. This makes the cable safer for use in enclosed or poorly ventilated spaces like network closets, data centers, and raised floors where traditional PVC-jacketed cables could pose health hazards in fire situations.
Is this cable tested and certified for performance?
Yes, this cable is Fluke tested and compliant with ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 standards, which guarantees CAT6 performance. The testing verifies that the cable meets specifications for data transmission up to 1 Gbit/s, maintains proper impedance, and exhibits low Near-End Crosstalk (NEXT) and Return Loss (RL) for reliable network performance.
What types of devices can I connect with this Ethernet cable?
This cable is designed to connect network devices including switches, routers, patch panels, computers, and PoE devices such as IP cameras and wireless access points.
