– CAT6A 28 AWG Slim Patch Cable
– Connector: 50µ gold plated RJ-45 with nickel plated shell
ADVANTAGES:
- REDUCED SIZE-0.13″ (3.5mm) OD; more than 40% less cable volume gives more room for more cables in TR(Telecom Rooms) and Racks, As well increasing capacity of cable managers and pathways.
- MORE FLEXIBLE and less bulky than 24awg provides for easier cable routing and handling. Also saves money on installation.
- BETTER AIRFLOW for better air circulation and equipment cooling.
- IMPROVED RACK UTILIZATION-a means for new configurations are possibles. Use of fewer cable managers, or enables better port views or even extra ports.

LIMITATIONS:
- SHORTER DISTANCES-with the higher gauge (smaller size) cables the physics is that there is more insertion loss. Maximum distance with a permanent run and patch cable is 314-Ft (96 meters)
- LIMITED POE-although 28AWG Cat6A is capable of carrying POE, with the greater heat loss associated with the smaller wire, the applications are limited to length and number of cables in a bundle.
