The NETCONNECT 28AWG UTP CAT6 CM represents a breakthrough in high-density networking infrastructure. This superfine Category 6 cable delivers full performance in a reduced diameter format, making it ideal for space-constrained environments where conventional cables create congestion and airflow restrictions.
With a slender 4.2mm diameter, this 28AWG UTP CAT6 CM cable enables significantly higher port density in patch panels and network equipment.
Despite its reduced size, this ultra-thin Cat6 cable maintains full Category 6 specifications for bandwidth, insertion loss, and crosstalk.
The slim profile improves ventilation in enclosed cabinets, contributing to better thermal management and equipment reliability.
