Short Red Cat6 Patch Cable

The Cables To Go 01166 is a three-foot Cat6 Ethernet patch cable in red. It suits anyone needing a short, colour-coded link between a router, switch or wall port and a desktop, laptop or console. The slim profile helps in tight cable runs where standard cords feel bulky. It is not for installers who need longer runs or plenum-rated jacket types.

28AWG Slim Build With Snagless RJ45

The cable uses 28AWG conductors giving a 36% reduction in diameter compared to standard Cat5e cables. This thinner build eases routing through crowded racks, under desks or along baseboards. Both ends carry RJ-45 male connectors with a snagless boot that protects the latch during frequent unplugging. The unshielded twisted-pair construction meets the ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 standard for patch-cord performance.

Upgrade From Bulkier Cat5e Or Cat6 Leads

This cable replaces thicker Cat5e or older Cat6 patch cords when space is tight and colour coding matters. The jump is worth it if you want easier bundling, clearer port identification and a latch that survives repeated moves. It does not add shielding, so environments that demand screened cable will need a different solution.

Questions about this item

What does the ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 standard mean for this Cat 6 cable's performance?

It confirms the patch cord meets the Category 6 transmission requirements for crosstalk and return loss at the specified length.

Will the 28 AWG slim profile and snagless boots fit tightly spaced switch ports?

The 36 % thinner diameter and snagless boot design allow side-by-side insertion in dense patch panels without blocking adjacent jacks.

Is any special tool or punch-down needed to install this pre-terminated patch cable?

No tool is required; simply push each RJ-45 plug until it clicks, making sure the snagless boot clears the latch tab.
