Ultra-slim Cat6 patch cable

The Cable Leader 3ft Cat6 Slim Ethernet Cable provides a Gigabit wired link in an orange 3.6mm jacket. It uses 28AWG bare copper conductors with a spline core and 50-micron gold-plated RJ45 contacts. The Cat6 rating delivers 250MHz performance and backward compatibility with Cat5e. A transparent snagless boot protects the locking clip during routing.

Ideal for dense installs, not long runs

This cable suits patch panels, wall plates and behind-desk routing where space and airflow matter. The slim profile lets more cables sit side by side in high-density racks. Installers needing shielded cable, PoE+ current capacity or runs beyond the short 3ft length should choose a different construction.

Handles Gigabit at short distance

The 250MHz Cat6 spec comfortably carries 1Gbps Ethernet across the 3ft span. The 28AWG gauge and spline core keep crosstalk low for reliable throughput. At longer distances the thinner conductors reach their attenuation limit, so this cable is not intended for extended horizontal runs.

Questions about this item

Does my patch panel or keystone jack need a special size to accept this 3.6 mm cable?

No — the 3.6 mm jacket fits standard RJ45 keystones and patch panels designed for Cat6, so it works with the hardware you already have.

Will this 250 MHz Cat6 cable run at full speed on my older Cat5e router and switch?

Yes — it is fully backward compatible with Cat5e, so the link will negotiate at the highest speed both ends support.

How can I confirm the 50-micron gold-plated contacts are seated correctly after I plug it in?

The transparent snagless boot lets you see the locking tab click into place, and a link light on the router or switch will show an active Gigabit connection.
