Nippon Labs SLCAT6-28-20GY network ethernet cable 20 ft 28 AWG Cat 6 550 MHz gray

Ultra-slim Cat 6 cable for dense installs

This 28 AWG Cat 6 patch cable runs 20 ft and carries a 550 MHz rating. Its stranded bare-copper conductors and gold-plated RJ45 plugs support 10-Gigabit Ethernet while remaining backward compatible with Fast and Gigabit Ethernet. The snagless, narrow-boot design suits high-density racks and tight cable-management channels.

Verify connector spacing and bend radius

Confirm that both endpoints use standard RJ45 jacks with enough clearance for the slim boot. Ensure the 28 AWG stranded wire can be routed without exceeding its minimum bend radius in your trunking or under-floor raceways. Check that the 20 ft length reaches between your switch, router, NAS, VoIP phone or PoE device without tension.

Stable throughput on long runs

The pure bare-copper construction resists signal loss over the full 20 ft span, sustaining 550 MHz bandwidth under continuous load rather than only in short bursts. Gold-plated contacts reduce corrosion risk for reliable PoE and data delivery in always-on environments such as data centres or telecom rooms.
