7ft (2.1m) Cat6 Snagless Unshielded UTP Slim Ethernet Network Patch Cable - Orange
7ft Orange Cat6 Slim Patch Cable with 28 AWG conductors for high-density airflow and reduced bend radius
The CG01178 is a 7 ft (2.1 m) Cat6 Snagless Unshielded (UTP) Slim Ethernet Network Patch Cable in orange. Designed specifically for high-density datacenter applications, this cable utilizes 28 AWG stranded copper conductors to achieve a 36% reduction in diameter compared to standard Cat6 patch cables. This slim profile minimizes the cable surface area, facilitating increased airflow within crowded racks and enclosures. The reduced diameter also enables a significantly smaller bend radius, allowing for easier routing through management panels and tight spaces. This cable is suitable for bandwidth-intensive voice, data, or video distribution applications requiring fast Ethernet performance. For POE/POE+ applications, installers should limit bundles to 40 cables to manage the heat dissipation associated with reduced diameter conductors. This SKU features a snagless, booted PVC connector to provide strain relief and prevent accidental snags during installation.
