Ideal for high-density racks and home networking

This FireFold Cat6 slim patch cable is built for telecommunication rooms, data centres and residential setups where space is tight. Its reduced diameter simplifies cable management and leaves more room for equipment and airflow. The 15 ft length suits typical rack-to-rack or modem-to-router runs.

Cat6 performance with 28 AWG stranded copper

The cable meets Cat6 specifications using four pairs of 28 AWG UTP stranded bare copper conductors. It is 100 % tested to pass patch-cord tests, ensuring reliable gigabit connectivity. Shielding adds protection against electromagnetic interference in dense installations.

Slim profile improves airflow

At 3 mm (0.12 in) diameter the cable is 60 % thinner than standard 24 AWG Cat6, delivering a 48 % diameter reduction and 73 % space saving. Clear snagless boots protect the RJ45 connectors while keeping the installation low-profile and easy to route.

Questions about this item

What does the 28 AWG rating mean for real-world use?

The 28 AWG conductors make this cable 60% thinner than standard 24 AWG Cat6, reducing diameter to 3mm for better airflow and high-density patching.

How does the Cat 6 rating and RJ45 connectors limit the connection speed?

Cat 6 with RJ45 connectors supports up to 1 Gbps at 100 metres and 10 Gbps up to 45 metres, so your switch and NIC determine the actual throughput.

Will the 3 mm diameter and clear boots fit standard keystone jacks and patch panels?

Yes, the RJ45 plugs use standard pin spacing and the translucent clear boots are snagless, so they seat in any Cat 6 keystone or panel port.
