Slim Cat6 cable for tight installs

The Cables To Go 01172 is a 5 ft Cat6 patch cable built with 28AWG conductors that reduce overall diameter by 36 percent compared to standard Cat5e cables. Yellow jacket colour makes it easy to identify in dense racks. Both ends carry RJ-45 male connectors with snagless boots. It meets the ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 standard for patch cord performance.

Upgrade from bulkier Cat5e or Cat6 runs

Replaces thicker legacy patch cords where cable management space is limited or airflow matters. The slimmer profile eases routing through crowded panels, cable trays or narrow trunking without sacrificing Cat6 bandwidth. The jump is worth it when existing cables are too stiff to bend cleanly or when colour coding is needed for quick tracing.

Suits installers and home users needing flexibility

Ideal for patching between switches, routers, wall plates and devices in offices, labs or home networks where space is tight. Not suited for runs that require shielded cable, outdoor rating or lengths beyond the 5 ft supplied. Buyers needing longer reach, PoE-heavy loads or plenum-rated jackets should look at other cable types.

Questions about this item

Will the 28AWG slim cable fit in a high-density patch panel with tight RJ-45 spacing?

The 36% diameter reduction compared to standard Cat5e cables makes the 28AWG construction suitable for high-density panels where standard cables may be too thick.

How do I install the snagless connectors without damaging the latch tabs?

Press the RJ-45 male connector straight into the port until the snagless latch clicks; avoid angling the plug, which can bend the protective boot and prevent a secure lock.

When should I replace this Cat6 patch cord to maintain ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 performance?

Replace the cable if the yellow jacket shows kinks, the snagless boots crack, or connectors become loose, as physical damage degrades the certified patch-cord performance.
