FAQs

What are the key features of the C2G 01177 Cat6 Ethernet Cable?
The C2G 01177 Cat6 Ethernet Cable features a slim snagless design with 28 AWG conductors, offering 36% reduced diameter compared to standard Cat6 cables. It includes molded boots with strain relief, minimized Near-End Crosstalk (NEXT), and is specifically designed for high-density datacenter applications. The cable comes in orange color, has RJ-45 male connectors on both ends, and includes a lifetime warranty.
What makes this cable "slim" and why is it beneficial?
This cable uses 28 AWG conductors which makes it 36% slimmer than standard Cat6 cables. The slim design provides several benefits: improved airflow in dense installations, smaller bend radius for easier routing, and better manageability in cable management panels. This makes it particularly valuable for datacenter applications where space and airflow are critical considerations.
What are the length limitations for this slim Cat6 cable?
The cable has specific length recommendations due to its slim design: 96-meter channel maximum (90 meters horizontal cable plus up to 6 meters of slim patch cables) or 93-meter channel (83 meters horizontal cable plus up to 10 meters of slim patch cables). For POE/POE+ applications, bundles are limited to 40 cables due to heat dissipation considerations of these reduced diameter cables.
Is this cable shielded, and what connectors does it use?
This is an unshielded (UTP) cable equipped with RJ-45 male connectors on both ends. The connectors feature a snagless boot design that prevents unwanted snagging during installation while providing additional strain relief. The molded boot construction ensures durability and reliable connectivity for network devices.
What type of networks and applications is this cable suitable for?
This Cat6 cable is designed for fast Ethernet networks requiring bandwidth-intensive applications such as voice, data, or video distribution. It's particularly well-suited for high-density datacenter environments where space is premium. The cable supports network devices and can handle demanding data transmission needs while maintaining signal integrity through minimized Near-End Crosstalk (NEXT).
