Slim 28-AWG CAT6 patch cable
This 5 ft white CAT6 Ethernet cable uses 28-AWG stranded conductors that are nearly half the diameter of standard cabling. The slim profile saves space in high-density racks and improves airflow around equipment. Gold-plated contacts and snagless boots ensure reliable connections during frequent moves. It is tested to 250-MHz and meets ANSI/TIA-568-C2 performance standards.
Suited for dense patch panels and tight cable runs
Installers who need maximum cable density in cabinets or behind desks will benefit from the reduced bulk and enhanced heat dissipation. Builders who require shielded cabling for noisy environments should look at something else, as this cable is unshielded UTP. The stranded construction also makes it less suitable for permanent in-wall horizontal runs that demand solid conductors.
28-AWG conductor gauge
The 28-AWG gauge is the single specification that determines whether this cable fits your density and airflow requirements. It dictates the slim outer diameter that allows more cables per pathway and better cooling in crowded racks. If your project specifies a thicker gauge for mechanical strength or higher current capacity, this cable will not meet that requirement.

Questions about this item
How can I verify the cable is performing to the 250-MHz CAT6 standard after installation?
Use a qualified cable tester that certifies ANSI/TIA-568-C2 performance up to 250 MHz; the 50-micron gold-plated contacts and stranded 28-AWG conductors are built to meet that spec.
What comes with the cable and what must I purchase separately?
The box contains the single 5 ft white UTP patch cable with RJ45 connectors and snagless boots; no additional adapters, tools or mounting hardware are included.
When should I choose this 5 ft 28-AWG version over a longer or thicker cable?
Select this 5 ft slim 28-AWG patch lead for short, high-density runs where the reduced diameter improves airflow and saves space in crowded racks or panels.
