International Connectors and Cable ICPCSY07GY CAT 6 Slim Patch Cord

Overview

The International Connectors and Cable ICPCSY07GY is a 7-foot, Category 6 slim patch cord designed for high-density network environments. Its reduced cable outer diameter (OD) and 28 AWG construction allow for easier routing and management in crowded racks, while the assembled snag-free strain relief protects the connector and prevents cable damage during installation and moves. This pack contains 10 grey cables, ideal for structured cabling deployments where clear identification and reliable performance are critical.

Compatibility

This CAT 6 cable is backward compatible with CAT 5e and CAT 5 standards, and supports 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet networks. It is suitable for connecting network devices such as switches, routers, servers, patch panels, and workstations in enterprise, data center, and commercial installations. The reduced OD design is particularly beneficial for high-density switch configurations where standard bulkier cables can impede airflow and port access.

Installation Notes

The snag-free strain relief boot ensures that the RJ45 connector tabs are protected from breakage during insertion and removal, simplifying installation and maintenance. The 28 AWG construction offers greater flexibility than standard 24 AWG cables, making it easier to pull through conduits or manage in tight spaces. Ensure proper termination practices are followed to achieve optimal network performance up to Gigabit Ethernet speeds.
