Short blue Cat6 slim ethernet cable with snagless boot

C2G Canada

C2G Canada C2G02212 Cat6 8" (0.2m) Snagless UTP Slim network ethernet cable

SKU CH-DCYE-36EHV MPN C2G02212

An 8-inch Cat6 slim patch cable with 28 AWG conductors that reduce diameter by 36% for high-density routing

  • 36 % thinner cable improves rack airflow
  • 28 AWG conductors enable tighter bend radius
  • Snagless boot prevents catches during installation
  • Cat6 rating supports bandwidth-intensive voice and video
  • ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 conductor size not met

Compact patch cable for dense installs

This 8-inch Cat6 UTP slim patch cable uses 28 AWG conductors to reduce diameter by 36 percent compared with standard Cat6. The smaller profile suits high-density datacentre racks and crowded patch panels where space and airflow are at a premium.

Fits tight routing and improves airflow

The reduced bend radius lets the cable navigate cable-management panels and sharp corners without kinking. Snagless moulded boots protect the latch during insertion and removal, while the slimmer jacket leaves more room for air movement around adjacent cables.

Sustained use in bandwidth-heavy links

Built for fast Ethernet networks carrying voice, data or video, the copper construction minimises near-end crosstalk. Note that 28 AWG conductors fall outside the ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 recommendation of 22-26 AWG, so attenuation is higher than on standard-gauge Cat6 over longer runs.

Questions about this item

How does the 28 AWG conductor size affect signal loss on long runs?

Attenuation is increased because the 28 AWG conductors are smaller than the 22-26 AWG recommended by ANSI/TIA-568-C.2, making this cable best suited for short patch connections.

Does the slim 36% reduced diameter help with cooling in a packed rack?

Yes, the smaller cable surface area allows increased airflow compared to standard Cat6 cables, improving thermal management in high-density installations.

Will the snagless boots fit tightly spaced switch ports without blocking adjacent jacks?

The slim design and small bend radius allow easy routing through cable management panels and tight port spacing, while the molded snagless boot prevents tabs from catching during installation.
