STARTECH N6PAT3BKS Cat6 network ethernet cable 3 ft black slim 36% thinner 28 AWG 50-micron gold

Slim Cat6 cable for dense installs

This 3 ft Cat6 patch cable uses a 28 AWG construction that is 36% thinner than standard Cat6 cords, making it easier to route in crowded network closets and cable-management panels. The slim profile improves airflow and heat dissipation in high-density racks. Both ends carry RJ-45 male connectors with 50-micron gold contacts and snagless boots. It meets the ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 standard for patch-cord performance.

Ideal for high-density racks, not long runs

Network engineers patching servers or switches in tight cabinets will appreciate the reduced bulk and flexible routing. Installers who need longer horizontal runs or outdoor-rated jackets should look at something else, as this cable is only 3 ft long and rated for indoor UTP use. The short length limits it to adjacent rack connections or desktop links.

Handles Gigabit links at 3 ft with headroom to spare

At 91 cm the cable comfortably supports 1 Gbps Ethernet with margin for crosstalk and insertion loss within the Cat6 specification. Beyond this length the standard does not guarantee performance, so runs over 3 ft require a different cable. The 100% copper conductors and gold-plated contacts maintain signal integrity across the rated distance.
