Slim Cat6 patch cable

This 7 ft Cat6 patch cable uses a 28AWG construction that reduces the overall diameter by 36 percent compared with standard Cat5e patch cords. The slimmer profile makes routing through tight cable-management channels and dense patch panels noticeably easier. It is aimed at installers and home users who need a Cat6 link without the bulk of conventional cables.

Snagless RJ-45 connectors

Both ends carry RJ-45 male plugs with a snagless boot that protects the locking tab during repeated insertion and removal. The unshielded twisted-pair design keeps the cable light and flexible for desktop or rack use. Orange jacketing provides quick visual identification in colour-coded installations.

ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 compliance

The cable meets the ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 standard for patch-cord performance, ensuring Cat6 transmission characteristics over the full 7 ft length. Buyers who require shielded cabling, outdoor-rated jackets or longer runs beyond the specified length should select a different product.
