Slim Specs Table

Improved Airflow in Dense Racks

The Slim Cat6 Patch Cord is 36% thinner than standard Cat6 Ethernet cables. This enables greater airflow and heat dissipation in confined spaces. Because the cable is more flexible, routing is easier in crowded network racks. The snagless boot protects RJ45 clips during installation. This reduces snags or breakage when pulling through narrow gaps.

Reliable Gigabit and PoE++ Power

This cable supports IEEE 802.3bt Type 4 PoE++ up to 100W. It delivers power to switches, cameras, and access points. The 28AWG pure bare copper conductors provide low resistance. Gold-plated contacts ensure a precise fit and minimal signal loss. So you get stable data and power over a single cable.

Durable LSZH Construction for UK Installations

The jacket is Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH). It emits low smoke and toxic fumes in extreme heat or fire. This enables safer installations in poorly ventilated areas. It suits industrial settings, trains, and aircraft. It also fits residential builds where building code compliance matters. Confirm local fire-safety regulations before deployment.

Individually Tested for Signal Integrity

Each cable is tested using a Fluke® DSX2-8000 CableAnalyzer™. It meets ANSI/TIA-568.2-D Category 6 specifications. This ensures consistent signal integrity with minimal Near-End Crosstalk (NEXT) and Return Loss (RL). The U/UTP construction supports 10/100/1000Base-T(X) networks. It is Plug and Play for quick deployment.

Connector Details and Strain Relief

Both connectors are RJ-45 male with straight form factor. Gold plating on contacts reduces corrosion. Strain reliefs help protect the termination points. The snagless boot prevents clip damage during insertion. This cable is white for easy colour coding in racks.
