C2G 0.3m Cat6a Slim Ethernet Patch Cable U/UTP RJ-45 Purple 28 AWG

High-density network racks and crowded patch panels demand cables that fit without blocking airflow or access to adjacent ports. This C2G Cat6a slim patch cable solves that problem with a 28 AWG wire gauge and a slim 4.1 mm outer diameter, reducing bulk by nearly half compared to standard Cat6a cables while still delivering 10 Gigabit performance.

Who is it for

Network administrators, data center technicians, and AV integrators who need reliable high-speed connectivity in space-constrained environments. Ideal for patching between switches, servers, and patch panels where every millimeter of rack space counts.

Tips

For best performance, avoid sharp bends and keep the cable away from sources of electromagnetic interference. Use cable management accessories to maintain proper bend radius and extend cable life. The slim profile allows for tighter bundling, but do not exceed the manufacturer's recommended pulling tension.
