Slim Cat6 Gigabit Patch Cable

This five-foot Cat6 UTP patch cord connects printers, computers, routers, servers, modems and switches at gigabit speeds. Its slim profile suits dense racks and tight workstations where space is limited. The black jacket allows quick visual identification among other cables. It is built for straightforward wired networking tasks.

Snagless Molded Connectors and Slim Build

Over 38% slimmer than standard Cat6 cables, it improves airflow in full racks and routes easily around corners and through crowded cable management panels. Moulded snagless RJ45 male plugs on both ends protect the locking tabs from damage during repeated insertions. The stranded UTP construction keeps the cable flexible for everyday moves and re-terminations.

Five-Foot Length for Close Connections

The fixed 5 ft length determines whether this cord reaches between adjacent rack units or desktop devices without excess slack. Buyers needing longer runs across rooms or between distant cabinets cannot use this cable. Installers who require pre-made lengths beyond five feet must select a different size.

Questions about this item

What speed does the Cat6 interface support on this 5 ft cable?

How much slimmer is this cable compared to a standard Cat6, and does it affect rack fit?

It is over 38% slimmer than standard Cat6 cables, increasing airflow and making it easier to route through crowded cable management panels.
