FAQs

What are the key features of the C2G 01168 Cat6 Ethernet Cable?
The C2G 01168 Cat6 cable features a slim 28 AWG design with snagless boots, offering 36% reduced diameter compared to standard Cat6 cables. It's 7 feet long, has molded strain relief, minimizes Near-End Crosstalk (NEXT), and comes with RJ-45 male connectors on both ends. The cable is optimized for high-density datacenter applications and includes a lifetime warranty. Its slim design allows for better airflow and easier routing through cable management panels.
What makes this cable "slim" compared to standard Cat6 cables?
This cable uses 28 AWG conductors, which results in a 36% smaller diameter compared to standard Cat6 cables. The slimmer profile provides two main advantages: improved airflow in dense cable installations and a smaller bend radius for easier cable management. This makes it particularly suitable for crowded server racks and data centers where space and cooling efficiency are crucial.
What type of connections does this cable have?
The cable features RJ-45 male connectors on both ends (First and Second End). These connectors are enhanced with snagless boots and molded strain relief to prevent cable damage during installation and regular use. The connectors are designed for network devices and are compatible with standard Ethernet ports used in networking equipment.
Is this cable suitable for high-speed networks?
Yes, this Cat6 cable is specifically designed for fast Ethernet networks requiring bandwidth-intensive applications such as voice, data, or video distribution. It features minimized Near-End Crosstalk (NEXT) levels thanks to high-quality copper construction, ensuring reliable high-speed data transmission for modern networking needs.
What is the warranty coverage for this cable?
The C2G 01168 Cat6 cable comes with a lifetime warranty, providing long-term protection for your investment. This warranty demonstrates C2G's confidence in the cable's build quality and reliability for professional networking applications.
