2ft (0.6m) Cat5e Snagless Unshielded UTP Slim Ethernet Network Patch Cable - Gray
2ft Cat5e slim patch cable with 28 AWG conductors and snagless boots, providing a 28% reduction in diameter for high-density environments
The C2G CG01038 is a 2ft (0.6m) Cat5e Snagless Unshielded (UTP) Slim Ethernet Network Patch Cable designed for high-density datacenter applications. Utilizing 28 AWG stranded copper conductors, this cable features a 28% reduction in diameter compared to standard Cat5e cables. This smaller 0.15 in (3.8 mm) profile increases airflow within crowded enclosures and allows for a much tighter bend radius, making it easier to route through cable management panels. This cable is intended for fast Ethernet networks requiring bandwidth-intensive voice, data, or video distribution. The molded, snagless boots provide extra strain relief and protect the connectors from accidental snags during installation. Because these 28AWG conductors are smaller than the 22-26AWG recommended by ANSI/TIA-568-C.2, attenuation is increased. For PoE/PoE+ applications, it is recommended to limit bundles to 40 cables to manage heat dissipation.

Questions about this part
What is the maximum cable length recommendation for this slim patch cable?
For a 96 Meter Channel, use up to 6 meters of these slim patch cables with 90 meters of horizontal cable. For a 93 Meter Channel, use up to 10 meters of slim patch cables with 83 meters of horizontal cable.
Is this Cat5e cable suitable for PoE or PoE+ applications?
Yes, but for PoE/PoE+ applications, it is recommended to limit bundles to 40 cables to ensure proper heat dissipation due to the 28AWG conductors.
How does the diameter of this cable compare to standard Cat5e?
The CG01038 features 28 AWG conductors which provide a 28% reduction in diameter over a standard Cat5e network patch cable, allowing for better airflow and tighter bend radii.
Does this cable meet ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 standards?
This cable meets the ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 standard for Patch Cord Performance, though the 28AWG conductor size is smaller than the 22-26AWG size typically recommended.
What kind of connectors are used on the CG01038?
This cable features two RJ-45 Male connectors with a snagless, slim, and booted design for added protection and strain relief.
