10ft (3m) Cat6a Snagless Unshielded (UTP) Slim Ethernet Patch Cable - Orange
10ft Cat6a slim unshielded patch cable with 28AWG conductors and snagless boots, ideal for high-density data environments
The C2G30178 is a 10ft (3.1 m) Cat6a Snagless Unshielded (UTP) Slim Ethernet Patch Cable in orange, designed specifically for high-density cabling applications. This cable is an effective solution for crowded environments like large conference rooms and datacenters where airflow and space are critical. Using 28AWG stranded copper conductors, this slim cable maintains a diameter of only 0.19 in (4.8 mm), which allows for significantly increased airflow in tight rack spaces compared to standard Cat6 cables. It supports data transfer rates of 10 GBPS and is suitable for Power over Ethernet (PoE) and Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) applications. Each RJ-45 male connector features a molded, snagless PVC hood to provide strain relief and prevent accidental disconnections during installation. This Cat6a cable meets ANSI/TIA-568.2-D and ISO/IEC 11801-1 electrical performance requirements.
