What this cable is

The C2G 01084 is a Category 6 patch cable with RJ-45 male connectors on both ends. At six inches long it suits tight device-to-device links inside a rack or on a desk. The grey jacket and snagless boots protect the latch during frequent moves.

Limits of the Cat 6 patch standard

The cable meets ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 for patch-cord performance, so it is rated for the same channel lengths as any Cat 6 patch lead. Its unshielded 28AWG conductors make it more flexible but also more susceptible to alien crosstalk in dense bundles. Runs longer than the standard patch-cord allowance will need solid-core horizontal cable instead.

The spec that decides fit

The 36 per cent diameter reduction versus standard Cat5e lets this lead sit in crowded panels where a regular patch cable would block adjacent ports. If the installation has generous clearance a standard cable works equally well; choose this slim version only when space is the constraint.

Questions about this item

What length should I pick for a short patch cable like this?

This model is a 6 in. patch cord designed for tight connections between devices or within a rack.

What does the Cat 6 rating deliver in a real installation?

Cat 6 supports Gigabit Ethernet and up to 10 Gigabit over short runs, with performance verified to the ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 patch cord standard.

How does the 28AWG slim build affect the connection?

The 28AWG conductors make the cable 36% thinner than standard Cat5e, easing routing in dense panels while the snagless boots protect the RJ-45 clips.
