C2G Canada C2G02240 25 ft Cat6 Slim UTP Ethernet Cable White

Cable purpose and audience

This Cat6 slim patch cable connects network devices in offices and data centres. The 28 AWG conductors reduce the outside diameter by 36 percent compared with standard Cat6, improving airflow in dense racks. Installers who need a narrow, flexible run for voice, data or video distribution will find it easy to route through management panels.

Capacity and headroom

Rated for 500 mHz bandwidth, the cable supports gigabit Ethernet over its full 25 ft length. The unshielded design and 0.15 in diameter keep the bend radius down to 0.6 in, so tight corners are practical. Beyond the 90 m permanent-link limit the channel reaches 96 m, so this 7.6 m drop is well within specification.

Deciding specification

The 28 AWG construction is the single factor that determines fit. It delivers the slim 3.8 mm profile and 15.2 mm bend radius needed for high-density patching, but it is not intended for runs that exceed the 90 m horizontal-cabling guideline. Choose this cable when space and airflow are the priority.
