STARTECH N6PAT1GRS Cat6 Network Ethernet Cable 1 ft Gray Slim 28 AWG

High-Density Cat6 Patch Cable

This slim Cat6 Ethernet cable is built for high-density data centres and network closets where space is tight. It uses 28 AWG conductors that are 36% thinner than standard Cat6 patch cords, making routing through crowded panels straightforward. The 1 ft length suits short rack-to-rack or switch-to-patch-panel links. Grey jacket colour helps with visual cable management.

28 AWG UTP Construction Decides Fit

The defining specification is the 28 AWG unshielded twisted-pair design with 100% copper conductors and 50-micron gold-plated RJ45 connectors. This gauge reduces bulk by 36% compared to typical Cat6 cables, improving airflow and heat dissipation inside packed cabinets. Snagless boots protect the latch during frequent moves. The cable meets the ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 patch cord performance standard for Gigabit Ethernet.

For Rack Builders Needing Maximum Density

Network engineers packing 45 U racks or dense patch fields will benefit from the reduced diameter and flexible routing. Installers who require shielded cable for noisy industrial environments should look elsewhere, as this is a UTP product. Buyers needing longer runs for desktop or wall-plate connections should choose a standard-gauge cable in the required length.
