Slim Cat6 Patch Cable for Dense Racks

This 20 ft Cat6 patch cable uses 28-AWG stranded conductors and measures .161 inches in diameter. The slim profile saves more than 50 percent space in bundles and patch panels compared to standard 24-AWG cables. It is rated for 250-MHz bandwidth and Gigabit networking in high-density environments. The unshielded UTP construction carries a CM jacket rating.

Replaces Bulky 24-AWG Cables in Tight Spaces

The jump is worth it when rack units are full or vertical managers are overflowing. Thinner cables free space in 1U and 2U patch panels and can eliminate horizontal cable managers. Improved finger access between ports speeds up installs and moves, adds, and changes. Better airflow around dense patches is an added operational benefit.

Suits Data Centers and Telecom Rooms Needing Density

Installers who need maximum port density and easier handling in crowded cabinets will benefit. Builders who require shielded cabling for EMI protection or outdoor-rated jackets should look elsewhere. The stranded conductor makes this a patch cord, not a solid-core run for in-wall or riser installations.

Questions about this item

How much rack space does the .161-inch diameter save in a 1U patch panel?

The 28-AWG stranded cable is almost half the size of 24-AWG cables, saving more than 50 percent space in bundles and vertical managers, so you can fit more connections in the same 1U or 2U panel.

Which step do installers often skip when routing the snagless boot through a dense patch panel?

Because the 28-AWG stranded construction is highly flexible, the common error is pulling the boot past the latch without guiding it, which can bend the latch tab and defeat the snagless feature.

When should the 20-foot Cat 6 250-MHz patch cord be replaced in a high-density Gigabit installation?

Replace the cable if the snagless boot cracks, the latch no longer clicks, or the jacket shows kinks from repeated moves, as physical damage degrades the 250-MHz performance before electrical failure appears.
