6ft (1.8m) Cat6 Snagless Unshielded UTP Slim Ethernet Network Patch Cable - Orange
6ft Cat6 slim unshielded UTP patch cable in orange, featuring 28 AWG conductors for high-density environments
The C2G02226 is a 6ft (1.8m) Cat6 Snagless Unshielded (UTP) Slim Network Patch Cable designed specifically for high-density datacenter applications. By utilizing 28 AWG stranded copper conductors, this cable achieves a 36% reduction in diameter compared to standard Cat6 patch cables. This slim profile (0.15 in / 3.8 mm) significantly increases airflow within crowded enclosures by reducing the total cable surface area. The reduced diameter and 0.6 in (15.2 mm) bend radius allow for easier routing through tight cable management panels and high-density patch panels. This orange cable is engineered for high-bandwidth Ethernet networks, supporting data transfer rates of up to 10 GBPS. The molded snagless boot provides strain relief and prevents accidental snags during installation. For POE/POE+ applications, it is recommended to limit cable bundles to 40 units to ensure proper heat dissipation of these reduced diameter conductors.

Questions about this part
Will this C2G02226 cable work for 10GB Ethernet applications?
Yes, this Cat6 slim cable supports data transfer rates up to 10 GBPS and is designed for bandwidth-intensive voice, data, or video distribution.
Can I use this slim patch cable for PoE or PoE+ applications?
Yes, but it is recommended to limit cable bundles to 40 cables to account for the heat dissipation requirements of 28 AWG reduced diameter cables.
What is the maximum channel length when using this 6ft slim cable?
For a 96-meter channel, you can use up to 6 meters of slim network patch cables. For a 93-meter channel, you can use up to 10 meters of slim network patch cables.
How does this slim cable differ from a standard Cat6 patch cable?
The 28 AWG construction results in a 36% reduction in diameter and a much smaller bend radius, which improves airflow and routing in high-density environments.
What technical standards does this orange Cat6 cable meet?
This cable is compliant with the TIA/EIA-568-C.2 standard and the latest ANSI/TIA-568 requirements.
