Ultra-slim Cat6 for dense installs
This 28 AWG Cat6 patch cable is built for tight racks, patch panels and desktop runs where standard cables crowd neighbouring ports. Its narrow snagless boots release cleanly from dense switch rows without catching on adjacent clips. The three-foot length suits short rack-to-rack or device-to-wall links in home offices, labs or wiring closets.
550 MHz headroom for 10 GbE
Rated at 550 MHz, the cable carries 10-Gigabit Ethernet over its full length while staying backward compatible with Fast Ethernet and Gigabit links. Stranded bare-copper conductors keep attenuation low on short runs, but the thin 28 AWG gauge increases resistance on longer channels, so it is not intended for extended horizontal cabling beyond the specified length.
Gold contacts and pure copper
Gold-plated RJ45 pins on both ends resist oxidation and maintain low contact resistance through repeated mating cycles. The UTP construction uses solid bare copper rather than copper-clad aluminium, preserving signal integrity for PoE loads and high-speed data. No software, drivers or additional accessories are included or required.

Questions about this item
Will this 28 AWG Cat6 cable work with my existing 10-Gigabit Ethernet router and older Gigabit switch?
Yes, the cable is rated for 550 MHz and supports 10-Gigabit Ethernet while remaining backward compatible with Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet devices.
How can I verify the 550 MHz performance after connecting the cable?
Check the link speed in your operating system or router interface; a negotiated 10 Gbps or 1 Gbps connection confirms the cable is operating at its rated Cat6 performance.
Does the 3 ft blue cable come with both RJ45 connectors attached, or do I need to buy plugs separately?
The cable arrives with one RJ45 connector on each end, gold-plated and snagless, so no separate plugs or termination tools are required.
