International Connectors and Cable ICPCSY10BL Patch Cord CAT 6 Slim Clear SR 28 AWG

Overview

This 10-foot, blue, Cat 6 slim patch cord is designed for high-density network environments where cable management is critical. Its 28 AWG construction and reduced outer diameter (OD) allow for easier routing and termination in tight spaces, such as within server racks or network closets. The assembled, snag-free strain relief prevents damage to the cable and connectors during installation and maintenance, ensuring a reliable connection for network devices. The ICPCSY10BL is ideal for connecting IP cameras, network switches, and other data transmission equipment where a clean and organized cabling infrastructure is paramount.

Compatibility

This Cat 6 patch cord is backward compatible with Cat 5e and Cat 5 standards, but is optimized for Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T) and 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GBASE-T) up to 55 meters. It is suitable for use with any standard RJ45 network interface, including those found on IP cameras, network video recorders (NVRs), managed and unmanaged network switches, routers, and servers. The reduced OD makes it particularly useful for high-density patch panel installations and when connecting multiple devices in close proximity.

Installation Notes

The snag-free strain relief boots protect the RJ45 connectors and prevent accidental disengagement. The 28 AWG construction offers greater flexibility and a smaller bend radius compared to standard 24 AWG cables, facilitating installation in confined spaces. For optimal performance, ensure connections are made to Cat 6 compliant ports and infrastructure. The reduced OD may require specific cable management accessories designed for smaller diameter cables to maintain organization.
