Technical Overview
This bulk pack of slim Cat6 patch cables is engineered for dependable high-speed performance. Each cable meets Category 6 specifications for frequencies up to 250MHz and is individually tested for minimal Near-End Crosstalk (NEXT) and Return Loss (RL), supporting 10GBASE-T applications up to the rated length.
Each cable in the 10-pack is 9 inches long (228.60 mm) with a slim 0.14-inch (3.60 mm) outer diameter, making these cords easy to route and dress in dense racks. The unshielded twisted pair (UTP) construction uses 4 pairs of 28AWG pure bare copper conductors, with gold-plated contacts on both RJ45 connectors for corrosion resistance and reliable signal transfer.
The snagless boot design prevents the RJ45 tab from catching or breaking during cable pulls. The LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket is flame-retardant and emits low-toxicity fumes if exposed to fire, making them appropriate for confined spaces such as plenum areas or enclosed racks.
Each cable also supports up to 100W Power over Ethernet (PoE++) compliant with IEEE 802.3bt Type 4, suitable for powering IP cameras, wireless access points, and other high-power devices.

Key Product Advantages
These 9-inch cat6 patch cables are built to keep high-density network deployments clean and reliable. The slim design reduces cable bulk and improves airflow, which is crucial in switches and patch panels where heat buildup can affect performance. The 10-pack ensures you have a consistent supply for project deployments, and the 10Gbps speed rating makes these cables future-ready for high-bandwidth applications.
The combination of 28AWG pure bare copper conductors, gold-plated connectors, and a snagless boot delivers a durable, long-lasting connection that resists interference and physical wear. The LSZH jacket also adds a measure of safety, especially for plenum installations or areas with strict fire codes.
Deployment / Use Cases
These short 9-inch patch cables are perfectly suited for rack and cabinet environments where equipment is stacked closely, such as between servers and top-of-rack switches or between patch panels and network devices. The slim construction and 10-pack quantity make them ideal for data centers and network closets that require high port density and efficient cable management.
Common deployments include connecting switches to routers, IP cameras in boardrooms, and other network devices on the edge. The PoE++ support allows you to power devices directly from the switch, eliminating the need for separate power supplies. Always use the appropriate length for the specific run to avoid strain on connectors and to maintain signal integrity.
Rack & Cabinet Patching
Perfect length for switch-to-patch-panel connections in racks or network cabinets.
- Reduces cable slack in high-density setups
- Slim profile maintains airflow
Connecting Network Devices
Connect IP cameras, routers, and switches within a short distance.
- Supports PoE++ for power and data over a single cable
- Snagless boots for secure, reliable connections
Physical Profile
This slim patch cable is colored black and has a flexible LSZH jacket that measures just 0.14 inches (3.60 mm) in diameter, making it easy to route through tight spaces without kinking. Each 9-inch cable weighs approximately 0.30 oz (8.50 g), and the 10-pack offers a convenient quantity for bulk installations. The snagless boots and durable construction are designed to withstand repeated plugging cycles.

FAQ
What is the length of each cable in this pack?
Each cable in this 10-pack is 9 inches (228.60 mm) long, making them ideal for very short patch connections, such as between patch panels and switches in the same rack. The short length reduces cable slack and simplifies cable management in confined spaces.
Does this Cat6 cable support Power over Ethernet (PoE)?
Yes, this cable supports Power over Ethernet Plus Plus (PoE++) up to 100W, in accordance with IEEE 802.3bt Type 4. This means it can deliver both data and power to high-power devices like IP cameras, wireless access points, or other network equipment, reducing the need for separate power supplies.
What is the maximum data transfer speed of this Cat6 patch cable?
These Cat6 patch cables are rated for data transfer rates up to 10 Gbit/s (10GBASE-T), which is ideal for high-bandwidth applications such as server connections, video streaming, and other data-intensive tasks. They are also backward compatible with slower Ethernet standards.
Is this cable shielded?
No, this cable is Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP), meaning it does not have additional shielding around the conductors. UTP is commonly used in short patch cable runs where interference is not a major concern. The twisted pair construction still helps cancel out electromagnetic interference for reliable performance in typical office or data center environments.
What type of jacket does this cable have?
This cable has a Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket, which emits low smoke and no halogen gases when exposed to high heat or fire. This makes it safer for use in enclosed or confined spaces, such as plenum areas or densely packed server racks, where toxic fumes could be a concern in the event of a fire.
Are these cables snagless?
Yes, the RJ45 connectors on these cables feature snagless boots. The snagless design protects the locking tab from catching on surfaces during installation, making it easier to route cables and preventing damage to the connector. This is especially useful in high-density patching environments.
