Ultra-slim 3.6 mm Cat6 patch cable

The Cable Leader 5 ft Cat6 Ethernet cable uses a 28 AWG stranded bare-copper construction just 3.6 mm thick to deliver a Gigabit connection at 250 MHz. Gold-plated RJ45 contacts and a spline core keep signal integrity high in tight spaces. Backward compatible with Cat5e, it drops into any standard RJ45 port on routers, switches, patch panels, PCs, consoles or smart TVs.

Suited for high-density patching and tight desk runs

Installers who need maximum cables per patch panel or clean routing behind desks and wall plates benefit from the reduced diameter and snagless boot. Builders who require shielded cabling for noisy environments or solid-conductor cable for long permanent links should look elsewhere.

28 AWG stranded construction decides fit

The 28 AWG gauge makes the cable flexible enough for dense bundles and sharp bends, but it limits maximum run length compared with solid-core alternatives. Verify that your link distance stays within the Cat6 stranded-cable allowance before committing.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box and do I need to buy any extra connectors or tools?

The package contains only the single 5 ft black Cat6 cable with RJ45 plugs already fitted at both ends. No additional connectors, crimping tools or patch-panel hardware are included or required for a standard plug-and-play installation.

The C6116 family lists multiple lengths and ten colours — which version should I pick for a short, tidy run behind a desk?

Choose this 5 ft black model; its 3.6 mm slim jacket and 28 AWG conductors keep the bend radius tight and the bundle neat in confined spaces behind furniture or wall plates.

The headline says 250 MHz and Gigabit — what does that actually deliver when I plug it into my router or switch?

It provides a full 1 Gbps Ethernet link over the 5 ft distance with Cat6-certified 250 MHz bandwidth, backward compatible with Cat5e ports, so you get the rated Gigabit speed without any configuration.
