Cat6 Slim Booted Patch Cable

Slim booted Cat6 patch cables rated 10 Gbps at 550 MHz on a 28 AWG conductor. The reduced outside diameter roughly halves the volume of a full-size Cat6 bundle, which is what makes a 48-port panel dressable and keeps air moving through a loaded cabinet.

The trade-off is real and worth planning around: thinner copper means higher DC resistance, so keep slim cable to short patch runs and derate for PoE rather than using it for long horizontal links. For runs approaching channel limits, use standard-gauge Cat6.

Questions about Cat6 Slim Booted Patch Cable

Can slim patch cables carry PoE?

Yes, for typical PoE and PoE+ devices on short patch runs. Thinner conductors have higher DC resistance and run warmer in large bundles, so keep slim cable to patching inside racks and closets and use standard-gauge cable for long runs or high-power PoE (802.3bt) in tight bundles.

Why use slim Cat6 instead of standard Cat6?

Slim cable has a smaller outside diameter, so a full 48-port panel is easier to dress and air keeps moving through a loaded cabinet. Use standard-gauge Cat6 for long runs.

What lengths and pack sizes does the Cat6 Slim Booted Patch Cable come in?

Available lengths: 0.5 Ft, 1 Ft, 1.5 Ft, 2 Ft, 3 Ft, 4 Ft, 5 Ft, 6 Ft, 7 Ft, 8 Ft, 9 Ft, 10 Ft. Sold in packs of 1, 10, 50, 100 where stocked (1 = single cable). Every color of the same length and pack is the same price.

What are the specifications of the Cat6 Slim Booted Patch Cable?

Category Cat6; shielding UTP; conductor 28AWG, 4-pair stranded bare copper; connector 50 micron gold-plated RJ45, molded boot; jacket CM-type PVC, slim OD ~3.6mm; wiring T568B (AT&T 258A); max speed 10 Gbps; bandwidth 550 MHz; certifications TIA/EIA, UL/cUL, RoHS.

Are Cat6 Slim Booted Patch Cables pure copper?

Yes. They use 100% bare copper conductors, not copper-clad aluminum (CCA), with 50 micron gold-plated RJ45 contacts.
