Slim Cat6 Patch Cable

The Cables To Go 01162 is a five-foot green Cat6 Ethernet patch cable built with 28AWG conductors that are 36% thinner than standard Cat5e cables. It uses unshielded twisted-pair construction and RJ-45 male connectors on both ends. The slim profile reduces bulk in crowded racks or behind desks. It meets the ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 standard for patch cord performance.

Home and Office Installers

This cable suits installers who need a flexible, space-saving patch lead for gigabit connections between switches, routers and endpoints. The snagless boot protects the release tab during frequent moves. Buyers who require shielded cabling for high-EMI environments or outdoor burial-rated jackets should look at a different product type. The unshielded design is not intended for those conditions.

Snagless Plug-and-Play

Installation is a simple push of each RJ-45 connector until the tab clicks into the port. The snagless moulding prevents the tab from catching on adjacent cables when routing through tight channels. The most common issue is accidental tab breakage if the cable is yanked sharply instead of released by depressing the tab. Proper release technique avoids damage.

Questions about this item

What devices need RJ-45 ports to use this 5 ft Cat6 patch cable?

Any switch, router, modem or network card with a standard RJ-45 jack will accept the male connectors on both ends of this patch cable.

Will the slim 28AWG cable fit alongside thicker Cat5e runs in the same tray?

The 36% diameter reduction lets it sit beside bulkier cables without crowding, and the snagless boots prevent tabs from catching on adjacent wires.

How can I verify the link meets the ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 patch-cord standard after installation?

Check the switch port LEDs for a solid gigabit link light and run a continuity tester; both should show all eight pins connected with no faults.
