8ft (2.4m) Cat6 Snagless Unshielded UTP Slim Ethernet Network Patch Cable - Blue
8ft Cat6 slim unshielded UTP patch cable in blue, featuring 28 AWG conductors for high-density applications and improved airflow
The C2G CG01081 is an 8ft (2.4m) Cat6 Slim Snagless Unshielded (UTP) Network Patch Cable designed for high-density datacenter environments. By utilizing 28 AWG stranded copper conductors, this cable achieves a 36% reduction in diameter compared to standard Cat6 patch cables. This smaller 0.15 in (3.8 mm) diameter increases airflow within crowded racks and allows for a significantly smaller bend radius, making it easier to route through cable management panels. This cable is built for fast Ethernet networks requiring bandwidth-intensive voice, data, or video distribution, supporting a bandwidth of 500 mHz. The molded snagless PVC boot provides strain relief and protects against snags during installation. For PoE/PoE+ applications, it is recommended to limit bundles to 40 cables to manage heat dissipation. This SKU is part of a larger series available in various lengths and colors.

Questions about this part
Will this Cat6 cable work for PoE/PoE+ applications?
Yes, but for PoE/PoE+ applications, it is recommended to limit cable bundles to 40 units to manage the heat dissipation of the reduced 28 AWG diameter.
What is the maximum channel length when using this slim patch cable?
For a 96 Meter Channel, you can use up to 6 meters of slim network patch cables with 90 meters of horizontal cable; for a 93 Meter Channel, use up to 10 meters of these cables with 83 meters of horizontal cable.
What is the difference between this and standard Cat6 cables?
The CG01081 is a slim version with a 0.15 in (3.8 mm) diameter and a 28 AWG conductor, offering a 36% reduction in size for better airflow and smaller bend radii compared to standard cables.
What documents are available for technical submittals?
You can refer to the C2G Ethernet Patch Cable Matrix (PDF) or the Cat6 Slim Data Sheet (PDF) for detailed technical information.
What are the electrical performance specifications?
This cable features an impedance of 100Ω, a capacitance of 5600pf/100m, and a maximum propagation delay of 545ns/100m.
