SKU CH-BCCD-8Z7ZV

An ultra-slim Cat6 patch cable, 2.8 mm thick, for gigabit links in tight racks

  • TypeOthers
  • Cat6
  • Length5 ft.
  • ColorBlue
  • Cat6 rating supports 1 Gbps network speeds
  • Ultra-slim 2.8 mm diameter improves rack airflow
  • 50 % smaller than standard Cat6 for easier routing
  • Blue PVC jacket enables quick visual identification
  • 32 AWG stranded copper construction ensures reliable signal quality

Ideal for Gigabit Network Connections

This Cat6 Ethernet cable connects printers, computers, routers, servers, modems and switches in a Gigabit LAN. It uses 32 AWG copper wire with four twisted pairs to support speeds up to 1 Gb. The RJ45 male-to-male connectors provide a standard interface for typical networking equipment.

Ultra-slim build improves rack airflow

At 2.8 millimeters in diameter, the cable is more than 50% smaller than standard Cat6. This increases airflow in crowded equipment racks to help keep components cool. The slim profile also makes routing around corners and through cable management panels easier during installation.

Blue jacket enables quick identification

The PVC jacket is coloured blue to allow fast visual identification in a dense rack or workstation. This helps prevent accidental disconnections that can cause costly downtime. The 5 ft length suits short runs between adjacent devices.

Questions about this item

Will the 32 AWG stranded copper conductors need replacement after repeated bending?

The 32 AWG stranded copper construction provides flexibility for routing around corners and through panels, reducing fatigue compared to solid-core cables in tight installations.

Does the 2.8 mm diameter limit how tightly I can bundle these cables in a rack?

At 2.8 mm diameter the cable is more than 50 percent smaller than standard Cat6, so it occupies less space and allows denser bundling without exceeding typical bend-radius guidelines.

Will the ultra-slim PVC jacket trap heat when the cable runs at 1 Gbps all day?

The reduced 2.8 mm profile increases airflow between cables in crowded racks, helping equipment stay cool during continuous gigabit operation.
