5ft (1.5m) Cat5e Snagless Unshielded UTP Slim Ethernet Network Patch Cable - Gray
5ft Cat5e slim patch cable in gray, featuring 28AWG stranded copper conductors and a snagless connector design
The C2G CG01042 is a 5ft (1.5 m) Cat5e Slim Ethernet Network Patch Cable designed for high-density environments where space is a premium. This unshielded (UTP) cable features a 0.15 in (3.8 mm) diameter, which represents a 28% reduction in diameter compared to standard Cat5e cables. It is constructed with 28AWG stranded copper conductors and utilizes HDPE (High-density Polyethylene) insulation and a PVC jacket. Each RJ-45 male connector is equipped with a slim, snagless boot to protect the connection during installation. Installers should note that because this cable uses 28AWG conductors, it does not meet the 22-26AWG conductor size requirement of ANSI/TIA-568-C.2, which can result in increased attenuation. For maximum channel performance, it is recommended for a 96 Meter Channel (comprised of 90 meters of horizontal cable and up to 6 meters of these slim patch cables) or a 93 Meter Channel (83 meters of horizontal cable and up to 10 meters of these slim patch cables). For POE/POE+ applications, cable bundles should be limited to 40 cables to manage heat dissipation caused by the reduced diameter.

Questions about this part
Can I use this CG01042 cable for POE/POE+ applications?
Yes, but for POE/POE+ applications, it is recommended to limit cable bundles to 40 cables to manage heat dissipation due to the reduced diameter of the 28AWG conductors.
What are the maximum channel lengths for this slim patch cable?
For a 96 Meter Channel, use 90 meters of horizontal cable and up to 6 meters of slim patch cables. For a 93 Meter Channel, use 83 meters of horizontal cable and up to 10 meters of slim patch cables.
Does this Cat5e cable meet ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 standards?
The CG01042 meets the ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 standard for Patch Cord Performance, though it uses 28AWG conductors rather than the 22-26AWG size recommended by the standard.
What is the diameter of the CG01042 cable?
This cable has a diameter of 0.15 in (3.8 mm), which is 28% smaller than standard Cat5e cabling.
What certifications does this product have?
This product carries NDAA 889, REACH, RoHS, TSCA, and Prop 65 certifications.
