Cat6 slim patch cable for dense racks

The Cables To Go 01081 is an 8 ft Cat6 unshielded twisted-pair cable built with 28AWG conductors. Its 36% smaller diameter suits high-density datacentre cabinets where airflow and cable-management space are limited. Snagless boots protect the RJ-45 plugs during frequent patching. It meets the ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 patch-cord performance standard.

Bandwidth headroom for voice data and video

Cat6 rating supports gigabit Ethernet and bandwidth-intensive voice, data or video distribution. The reduced conductor gauge keeps NEXT levels low while the slim profile eases routing through tight panels. Unshielded construction means it is not suited for environments with strong electromagnetic interference. Length is fixed at 8 ft, so longer runs need a different cable.

28AWG decides fit in crowded panels

The 28AWG gauge delivers the 36% diameter reduction and tighter bend radius that let this patch cable sit in dense patch panels without blocking airflow. Buyers who need a shielded cable for noisy industrial settings or a longer reach for cross-room links cannot use this part.

Questions about this item

Will this 28AWG Cat6 cable plug into my older Gigabit switch and router without issues?

Yes, the RJ-45 male connectors on both ends are standard for Cat6 and are backward compatible with Gigabit and Fast Ethernet ports on older switches and routers.

How can I verify the cable is performing to the Cat6 standard after I install it?

The cable meets the ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 standard for patch cord performance; you can confirm it is working as intended by running a certification tester or checking for 1 Gbps link speeds with no errors on connected devices.

Does the 8 ft blue cable come with any clips or ties, or do I need to buy cable management separately?

The box contains only the Cat6 snagless unshielded slim patch cable itself; cable ties, clips or other management accessories are not included and must be purchased separately.
