Slim Cat6 design

The Cables To Go 01173 is a Cat6 unshielded twisted-pair patch cable built with 28AWG conductors. Its slim profile delivers a 36% reduction in diameter compared to standard Cat5e cables, making it easier to route through tight cable-management channels and dense patch panels.

Crowded rack installs

Installers working in crowded racks, wall plates or under-floor trays benefit from the reduced bulk and snagless connector boots that protect the latch during frequent moves. Buyers who need shielded construction for high-EMI environments or outdoor-rated jackets should look at a different cable type.

Seven-foot reach

At 7 ft (2.13 m) the cable comfortably bridges a switch-to-panel or panel-to-device run inside a single rack or desk cluster. Longer cross-room or floor-to-floor drops will exceed this length, so measure the route before ordering.

Questions about this item

What type of network ports does the 01173 cable connect to?

The 01173 cable has RJ-45 male connectors on both ends, so it plugs into any standard Gigabit Ethernet port on a router, switch, PC or NAS.

Will the 28AWG slim cable run reliably alongside my older Cat5e patch cords?

Yes, the 01173 meets the ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 patch-cord standard, so it interoperates with legacy Cat5e cables while supporting Gigabit speeds.

How can I confirm the 7 ft Cat6 link is performing correctly after installation?

Check that both link LEDs light at 1 Gbps and run a cable certifier or throughput test to verify the connection meets the rated Cat6 performance.
