C2G 5ft (1.5m) Cat6a Snagless Unshielded (UTP) Slim Ethernet Network Patch Cable, White

Overview

The C2G C2G30183 is a 5-foot Cat6a Ethernet patch cable designed to deliver full 10 gigabit performance while maintaining a slim and flexible profile. Its 28 AWG conductors reduce the cable diameter by nearly 30% compared to standard Cat6a cables, making it easier to route through tight spaces and manage clutter in dense network setups. This cable supports data transfer speeds up to 10 Gbps over distances up to 328 feet and also carries Power over Ethernet (PoE), allowing it to power devices like VoIP phones and security cameras through a single connection.

Key features

• Slim cable design with 28 AWG conductors that saves space and improves airflow around network equipment
• Snagless molded boot protects the locking tab during installation, preventing damage when pulling through conduits or cable trays
• Gold-plated RJ45 connectors ensure reliable signal integrity and resist corrosion for long-lasting performance
• Supports Power over Ethernet to deliver both data and power over a single cable, reducing cable clutter
• Durable construction backed by a lifetime warranty, providing confidence in long-term use
• Ideal for IT professionals managing dense switch stacks, AV installers requiring clean cable runs, and home users seeking fast, reliable wired connections

Connectivity and compatibility

This cable is compatible with any network device that supports Cat6a or lower Ethernet standards, including switches, routers, computers, VoIP phones, security cameras, and wireless access points. Its support for Power over Ethernet means it can power compatible devices without needing separate power cables, simplifying installations in offices, conference rooms, and data centers.

Installation and setup

The slim profile and snagless boot make this cable easy to install in tight spaces such as behind patch panels, inside cable trays, or under desks. Its flexible design helps maintain neat and organized wiring, which is especially useful in environments with multiple cables and limited space. The durable connectors withstand repeated plugging and unplugging, ensuring a stable connection over time.

Ideal uses and environments

This cable works well in professional IT environments where space and airflow are critical, such as server racks and network closets. It also fits well in AV setups requiring clean cable management and in home networks where users want fast, wired connections without bulky cables. Its combination of speed, slim design, and PoE support makes it a versatile choice for a wide range of networking needs.
