Slim Cat6 patch cable for tight spaces

The Cables To Go 01168 is a 7 ft red Cat6 Ethernet cable built with 28AWG conductors. Its 36% diameter reduction compared to standard Cat5e cables makes it easier to route through crowded racks, cable trays or around tight bends. Snagless RJ-45 plugs protect the locking tabs during repeated insertion and removal. It meets the ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 standard for patch cord performance.

Ideal for dense patch panels and short runs

Network administrators and home users who need a flexible, space-saving link between switches, routers and wall plates will benefit from the slim profile. The unshielded construction keeps the cable light and pliable. Installers who require shielded twisted pair for high-EMI environments or outdoor-rated jackets should look at a different cable type.

28AWG conductor gauge sets the physical limit

The 28AWG wire enables the 36% slimmer diameter but increases insertion loss over longer distances. For runs at or near the 7 ft length the cable is tested to the ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 patch cord specification. Buyers planning longer permanent links should verify that the gauge meets their project's channel budget.

Questions about this item

What devices do I need with RJ-45 ports to use this Cat6 cable?

You need two devices with RJ-45 ports such as a router, switch, PC or gaming console to connect with this 7 ft Cat6 patch cable.

Will this slim 28AWG cable work with my existing Cat5e wall jacks and older router?

Yes, the Cat6 cable is backward compatible with Cat5e infrastructure and older routers using the same RJ-45 interface.

How can I confirm the 7 ft red cable is performing to the ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 standard after I plug it in?

Check for a solid link light on both ports and run a speed test to verify gigabit throughput matches the Cat6 rating.
