Ultra-Slim Cat6 Cable for Dense Installations

This 28 AWG Cat6 patch cable measures 1 ft and uses stranded bare copper conductors with gold-plated RJ45 connectors. The snagless narrow boot design suits high-density environments such as data centres or telecommunications rooms. It connects routers, switches, NAS devices, VoIP phones and PoE equipment.

Replaces Bulkier Cat6 or Older Cat5e Links

The ultra-slim profile fits tight cable-management spaces where standard cables obstruct airflow or neighbouring ports. Upgrade when existing cords are too thick for high-density patch panels or when a short, flexible run is needed between stacked devices. The 550 MHz rating supports 10-Gigabit Ethernet while remaining backward compatible with Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet.

Simple Plug-and-Play Installation

Push each RJ45 connector until it clicks; the snagless boot prevents the tab from catching during removal. Ensure the cable is not sharply bent beyond its natural radius and avoid running it parallel to power cords to minimise interference. Verify link lights on both ends to confirm a solid connection.

Questions about this item

Will the 28 AWG stranded conductors fit a standard RJ45 keystone jack?

Yes, the cable terminates in standard RJ45 connectors with gold-plated contacts that seat in any RJ45 keystone or port.

What is the correct way to seat the snagless boot so the tab does not catch?

Press the connector straight in until the boot clicks; the narrow snagless boot covers the release tab and prevents it from snagging on adjacent cables.

How often should I replace a 550 MHz Cat6 patch cord in a PoE installation?

The bare copper conductors and gold-plated contacts resist corrosion, so replacement is only needed if the boot tears or a connector is physically damaged.
