Ultra-slim Cat6 cable for dense installs

This 28 AWG patch cable is built for tight spaces such as data-centre racks or crowded patch panels. Its narrow snagless boot and stranded bare-copper conductors keep the run flexible while maintaining Cat 6 performance. The 3 ft gray length suits short links between switches, routers, NAS units or VoIP phones. Gold-plated RJ45 contacts resist corrosion for long-term reliability.

Fits high-density racks without blocking adjacent

The ultra-slim profile slides between tightly packed RJ45 jacks, freeing room for additional cables or airflow. UTP construction requires no grounding, so it drops into any standard Ethernet port on a router, switch, printer or PoE device. Backward compatibility with Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet means existing gear works without reconfiguration. Pure bare copper conductors avoid the signal loss common with copper-clad aluminium alternatives.

Rated 550 MHz for sustained 10-Gigabit throughput

The cable maintains its 550 MHz bandwidth over the full 3 ft run, supporting continuous 10-Gigabit Ethernet traffic rather than only short bursts. Stranded conductors and gold-plated contacts keep insertion loss low during prolonged transfers such as large NAS backups or sustained video streams. Snagless boots protect the latch during frequent re-patching, preserving signal integrity in busy environments.

Questions about this item

What is the maximum bandwidth this 3 ft Cat 6 cable can sustain?

The cable is rated for 550 MHz bandwidth, supporting up to 10-Gigabit Ethernet speeds over its 3 ft length.

Does the 28 AWG stranded construction affect heat or signal loss during continuous use?

Pure bare copper conductors and 28 AWG stranded wire maintain stable transmission and resist signal loss even under sustained load.

What devices can I plug this RJ45 patch cable into straight away?

It connects directly to routers, switches, network printers, NAS, VoIP phones and PoE equipment using standard RJ45 ports.
