4ft (1.2m) Cat5e Snagless Unshielded UTP Slim Ethernet Network Patch Cable - Blue

4ft Blue Cat5e slim patch cable with 28AWG stranded copper conductors and snagless RJ-45 connectors

The C2G CG01023 is a 4 ft (1.2 m) Cat5e slim patch cable finished in blue. This unshielded UTP cable uses 28AWG stranded copper conductors and HDPE insulation to achieve a 28% reduction in diameter compared to standard Cat5e cables, resulting in a 0.15 in (3.8 mm) cable diameter. The cable features snagless, slim, and booted RJ-45 male connectors on both ends. This specific SKU belongs to the Cat5e Slim Patch Cable series and is designed for high-density environments where space is at a premium. Installers should note that because these 28AWG conductors are smaller than the 22-26AWG requirement specified by ANSI/TIA-568-C.2, attenuation is increased. When planning channel lengths, the maximum recommended distance is a 96-meter channel consisting of 90 meters of horizontal cable and up to 6 meters of these slim patch cables, or a 93-meter channel with 83 meters of horizontal cable and up to 10 meters of slim patch cables. For POE/POE+ applications, limit cable bundles to 40 units to manage heat dissipation caused by the reduced diameter.
