  • Low-smoke zero-halogen jacket reduces toxic emissions in fire
  • Gold-plated RJ45 contacts resist corrosion for reliable connections

Slim Cat6 cable for dense racks

This 7ft Cat6 patch cord uses 28AWG bare copper conductors and a flexible LSZH jacket that is 36% slimmer than standard cables. The reduced diameter improves airflow in crowded cabinets and simplifies routing through tight cable managers. Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts resist corrosion and maintain low insertion loss over repeated mating cycles. It supports 10Gbps Ethernet and 100W PoE for high-speed data and power delivery.

Verify port spacing and bend radius

Check that the RJ-45 ports on your switch, patch panel or server are spaced widely enough for the snagless boots to seat without interference from adjacent connectors. Confirm the available bend radius behind the device matches the cable’s flexibility so the jacket is not kinked during installation. Ensure the equipment auto-negotiates Cat6 speeds and that PoE budget per port covers the 100W capability if powered devices are attached.

Ideal for high-density patching.

Network engineers upgrading dense 1U or 2U switches gain the airflow benefit of the slim profile without sacrificing Cat6 performance. Installers running PoE+ or 100W PoE to access points or cameras appreciate the pure copper conductors and LSZH safety rating. Buyers who need outdoor-rated, direct-burial or shielded FTP/STP construction should select a different cable type.

Questions about this item

Does the 7 ft black Cat6 cable come ready to plug in, or do I need to buy connectors separately?

The cable has male RJ-45 connectors on both ends so it is ready to use without extra parts.

The cable is listed as 28 AWG — what does that mean for choosing this version over a thicker one?

At 28 AWG the cable is 36 % slimmer than standard Cat6, making it easier to route in tight spaces and improving airflow.

The spec says 10 Gbps and 100 W PoE — will I actually get that speed and power in my rack?

The slim UTP Cat6 design supports up to 10 Gbps data rates and 100 W Power over Ethernet when used with compatible equipment.
