Fiber Cables Direct FCD-C6-TS-BLK-TAA-7F 7ft Cat6 TightSpot Ethernet Cable
Overview
The Fiber Cables Direct FCD-C6-TS-BLK-TAA-7F is a 7-foot, TAA-compliant Category 6 (Cat6) UTP Ethernet patch cable. Its defining feature is a reduced 3.8mm outer diameter, designed specifically for installations where space is constrained, such as behind network racks, within tight conduit runs, or in plenum spaces where cable bulk is a concern. This cable ensures reliable data transmission for network devices while minimizing installation challenges in dense environments. The black jacket helps with cable management and identification in mixed-color cable deployments.
Compatibility
This Cat6 patch cable is compatible with all standard networking equipment that utilizes RJ45 connectors, including network switches, routers, firewalls, IP cameras, access control panels, and workstations. It supports data transfer rates up to 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) over shorter distances (up to 55 meters), and 1 Gigabit Ethernet (1GbE) up to 100 meters, provided the connected devices and infrastructure also support these standards. Its TAA compliance makes it suitable for government and certain enterprise deployments requiring adherence to the Trade Agreements Act.
Installation Notes
The reduced 3.8mm diameter allows for easier routing in tight spaces, potentially reducing installation time and the need for specialized tools. Ensure the cable is not subjected to excessive pulling force or sharp bends that exceed its minimum bend radius (typically 4x the cable diameter) to maintain signal integrity and prevent damage. The UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) construction means it is suitable for environments with low electromagnetic interference (EMI). For environments with high EMI, shielded Cat6a or Cat7 cabling might be a better choice.
