Compact Cat6 Patch Cable

This five-foot Category 6 patch cable uses a 28 AWG construction that reduces the overall diameter by 36 percent compared with standard Cat5e cords. The slim profile makes routing through tight cable-management channels and dense patch panels easier. Both ends carry snagless RJ-45 male connectors that protect the locking tabs during installation.

Ideal for Dense Racks and Tight Runs

Installers who need a low-profile unshielded twisted-pair link for Gigabit Ethernet in crowded cabinets will benefit from the reduced bulk. The cable meets the ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 patch-cord performance standard. Buyers who require shielded construction, outdoor-rated jackets or longer permanent-link distances should consider other cable types.

Five-Foot Length Defines Reach

The fixed 5 ft (1.52 m) length determines the maximum distance between connected ports. Verify that this span matches the device-to-device or device-to-panel spacing in your installation before ordering.

Questions about this item

Does the 28AWG slim design run hotter or draw more power than a standard patch cable during continuous use?

The cable is passive copper wiring with no active electronics, so it generates no heat and draws no power regardless of how long it stays connected.

What devices must already have RJ-45 ports for this Cat6 cable to work?

Any two devices with standard RJ-45 Ethernet jacks — such as a router, switch, PC, NAS, or IP camera — can be linked directly with this cable.

Will this Cat6 cable work reliably with older Cat5e or Cat5 ports on my existing switch?

Yes, Cat6 is fully backward compatible; the cable will negotiate the highest speed both ports support, so it works with Cat5e and Cat5 equipment.
