STARTECH N6PAT6BKS Cat6 network ethernet cable 6 ft black slim 28 AWG

Slim Cat6 Cable for Dense Racks

This 6 ft black Cat6 patch cord uses a 28 AWG UTP construction that is 36 percent thinner than standard Cat6 cables. The reduced diameter makes routing through crowded network closets and cable-management panels easier. Gold-plated RJ45 connectors and snagless boots protect the latch during frequent moves. It meets the ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 standard for patch-cord performance.

Thinner Profile Improves Airflow

The slim jacket allows better airflow around equipment and optimises heat dissipation in high-density racks. Snagless clips prevent the connector tabs from catching on adjacent cables during installation or maintenance. The 100 percent copper conductors with 50-micron gold contacts maintain signal integrity for Gigabit Ethernet links. These physical attributes directly support denser patching without redesigning cable pathways.

Suited for High-Density Patch Panels

Network engineers managing packed data-centre cabinets will benefit from the space saving and airflow gains. Installers who need shielded cables, outdoor-rated jackets or lengths beyond 6 ft should look at other products. Buyers requiring PoE budgets above the 28 AWG limit or certified Category 6A performance must choose a different specification.
