Ultra-slim Cat6 patch cable

This 6 ft Cat6 cable uses a 28 AWG stranded bare copper construction with a 3.6 mm jacket diameter. It is designed for high-density patch panels, wall plates and behind-desk routing where space and airflow are limited. The slim profile keeps dense bundles tidy during moves, adds and changes.

Cat6 bandwidth and connector limits

The cable meets the Cat6 standard at 250 MHz and supports Gigabit Ethernet speeds. It is backward compatible with Cat5e infrastructure for a drop-in upgrade. Unshielded twisted-pair construction and 50-micron gold-plated RJ45 contacts maintain signal integrity but the cable is not rated for Power over Ethernet or multi-gigabit standards beyond 1 Gbps.

Capacity for dense installs and short runs

The slim 28 AWG build fits more cables per patch panel and bends tightly behind desks and wall plates. Transparent snagless boots protect locking clips during frequent re-patching. At 6 ft the cable suits short desktop, console and smart TV connections; longer runs or PoE applications would need a thicker gauge.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 6 ft blue cable or another length and colour from the C6116 family?

Choose the 6 ft blue cable for short, tidy runs behind a desk or patch panel; other C6116 lengths and ten colours are available if you need longer reach or colour-coded zones.

What does the 250 MHz Cat6 rating mean for my Gigabit network?

The 250 MHz Cat6 rating supports full Gigabit Ethernet speeds with headroom for crosstalk margin, and the cable is backward compatible with Cat5e equipment.

How does the 3.6 mm 28 AWG build affect what I can plug it into?

The slim 3.6 mm jacket and 28 AWG stranded copper fit high-density patch panels, tight wall plates and crowded desk runs while using standard RJ45 ports on routers, switches, PCs and consoles.
