RJ45 Cat.6A U/UTP Slim 28AWG LSZH Patch Cord, 1 m – Slim Ethernet Network Cable

RJ45 Cat.6A U/UTP Slim 28AWG LSZH Patch Cord, 1 m (PC0027-C6A-100-8L) is a ready-to-use unshielded Category 6A Ethernet patch cable designed for connecting computers, servers, network switches, routers, patch panels, and other networking equipment equipped with RJ45 interfaces.

The main feature of this patch cord is its slim design with 28 AWG conductors. Compared to conventional patch cords with larger conductors, this cable takes up less space, simplifies cable management, and provides easier access to network ports in high-density installations.

The patch cord belongs to the Cat.6A category, which supports operating frequencies up to 500 MHz and is used in 10 Gigabit Ethernet cabling systems. Actual support for 10 Gbps transmission depends on the performance of the entire channel, connected networking equipment, and permitted channel length when using slim 28 AWG patch cords.

The outer jacket is made of LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) material, designed to produce low levels of smoke and no halogen emissions during combustion. This jacket type is particularly suitable for indoor network cabling installations in offices, server rooms, telecommunications facilities, and technical areas.

Applications

The Cat.6A U/UTP Slim 1 m patch cord is designed for short-distance network connections in structured cabling systems, Ethernet LANs, server cabinets, and telecommunications racks.

Suitable for connecting:

• Network switches to Ethernet patch panels.
• Servers to Ethernet switches.
• Desktop computers and workstations to local area networks.
• Routers and other active networking equipment.
• Network-attached storage (NAS) devices with RJ45 ports.
• Equipment installed in 19-inch server cabinets and telecommunications racks.
• Network devices in installations with limited cable management space.

With a length of 1 meter, this patch cord is ideal for connecting equipment located close together. Its slim construction is especially useful in high-density network cabinets where reducing cable congestion and maintaining easy access to ports are essential.

Key Features and Benefits

• Cat.6A performance – supports operating frequencies up to 500 MHz for modern high-speed Ethernet cabling systems.
• U/UTP construction – unshielded cable featuring four twisted pairs.
• Slim cable design – compact construction for high-density network installations.
• 28 AWG conductors – smaller conductor size compared to conventional 24 AWG patch cables.
• LSZH jacket – low-smoke, halogen-free outer insulation material.
• RJ45-to-RJ45 connectors – ready for connection to standard Ethernet ports without additional termination.
• 1-meter length – convenient for short-distance patching between network devices.
• Space-saving installation – helps reduce cable bundle size and simplifies cable management.
• Wide compatibility – suitable for networking equipment equipped with compatible RJ45 Ethernet interfaces.

Technical Specifications

Slim 28 AWG Cable Design

Unlike traditional patch cords with 24 AWG conductors, the Slim 28 AWG Ethernet patch cable features a more compact construction. This allows more efficient use of space inside server cabinets, especially in installations with high-density network ports.

Slim patch cords help reduce the overall size of cable bundles, simplify cable routing through cable managers, and improve accessibility to network switch and patch panel ports.

The unshielded U/UTP design makes the cable suitable for standard Ethernet networks where additional shielding against strong electromagnetic interference is not required.

Important: 28 AWG conductors have higher electrical resistance compared to 24 AWG conductors. Therefore, when designing long cable channels, high-power PoE installations, or densely packed cable bundles, the technical limitations of slim patch cords and the manufacturer's recommendations must be considered.

The RJ45 Cat.6A U/UTP Slim 28AWG LSZH Patch Cord, 1 m is a practical solution for connecting modern networking equipment where compact cable dimensions, convenient cable management, and high-speed network infrastructure are important.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. What does Cat.6A mean in a patch cord?

Cat.6A is a cabling category designed to support operating frequencies up to 500 MHz. It is commonly used in high-speed Ethernet networks, including 10 Gigabit Ethernet installations.

2. What does U/UTP mean?

U/UTP stands for Unshielded/Unshielded Twisted Pair. It indicates that the cable has neither an overall shield nor individual shielding around its twisted pairs. This construction is commonly used in Ethernet networks where significant electromagnetic interference is not present.

3. What is the difference between a Slim patch cord and a standard patch cord?

A Slim patch cord has a thinner construction and requires less installation space than conventional patch cables. This is particularly beneficial in server cabinets, telecommunications racks, and patch panels with a large number of network connections.

4. What does 28 AWG mean?

28 AWG refers to the conductor size according to the American Wire Gauge system. A 28 AWG conductor is thinner than a 24 AWG conductor, allowing manufacturers to produce more compact Ethernet patch cords. However, its higher electrical resistance must be considered when designing network cabling systems.

5. Does this Cat.6A patch cord support 10 Gbps?

Cat.6A cabling is designed for 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications. However, actual 10 Gbps performance depends on the compliance of the entire cabling channel, the connected networking equipment, and the allowable channel length when using slim 28 AWG cables.

6. What is an LSZH cable jacket?

LSZH stands for Low Smoke Zero Halogen. It refers to a cable jacket material designed to produce less smoke and fewer corrosive combustion gases compared with conventional halogen-containing materials. This is an important consideration for indoor structured cabling installations.

7. Is this patch cord suitable for a 19-inch server cabinet?

Yes. Slim patch cords are particularly convenient for connecting network switches, servers, and patch panels installed in standard 19-inch server cabinets and telecommunications racks. Their compact design helps improve cable organization in high-density environments.

8. Can this patch cord be used with Power over Ethernet (PoE)?

PoE compatibility depends on the specific cable specifications, power requirements, cable length, number of cables in a bundle, and installation conditions. For 28 AWG patch cords, the permitted PoE operating parameters should be verified according to the manufacturer's technical documentation.

9. What applications are suitable for a 1-meter patch cord?

A 1-meter Ethernet patch cord is suitable for short connections between network switches, patch panels, servers, routers, and other networking devices installed close to each other.
