Ultra-slim Cat6 cable for tight spaces
This 5 ft Nippon Labs patch cable uses 28 AWG stranded bare copper conductors to deliver Cat 6 performance in a narrow profile. The snagless boot design prevents latch damage when routing through dense patch panels or crowded desk grommets. It suits installers who need maximum density without sacrificing structured-cabling ratings.
Gold-plated RJ45 contacts and pure copper cores
Gold plating on both RJ45 plugs resists corrosion and maintains low contact resistance over repeated insertions. Bare copper conductors — not copper-clad aluminium — ensure the cable meets Cat 6 attenuation and crosstalk margins at the rated 550 MHz bandwidth. The combination supports reliable 10 Gigabit Ethernet links across the full 5 ft length.
Limited to 5 ft and UTP construction
At 5 ft the cable cannot span longer rack-to-rack or floor-to-ceiling runs without additional couplers, which add insertion loss. Unshielded twisted-pair construction offers no protection against strong EMI sources such as fluorescent ballasts or heavy motor circuits. Buyers needing extended distances or shielded runs must select a different cable type.

Questions about this item
Will the 28 AWG stranded copper conductors need replacement after repeated bending?
The 28 AWG stranded bare copper construction is designed for flexibility in tight spaces, and the gold-plated RJ45 connectors resist corrosion for long-term reliability.
Does the 550 MHz rating limit sustained 10-Gigabit Ethernet throughput?
The cable supports up to 550 MHz bandwidth, which meets the specification for 10-Gigabit Ethernet over the 5 ft length.
Does the ultra-slim jacket affect heat buildup during all-day PoE use?
The 28 AWG UTP design with bare copper conductors handles Power over Ethernet efficiently, and the slim profile does not increase operating temperature under normal loads.
