TekPatch Mini-6 28AWG Patch Cable
Description
At 56% lighter, with a 40% smaller bend radius and 55% smaller cross-sectional area than standard CAT 6 patch cables, TekPatch Mini-6 patch cable simplifies routing and reduces crowding in racks and pathways. TekPatch Mini-6 is the industry's smallest and lightest patch cable available capable of creating Category 6 compliant patch cords of up to 6 meters in length to be used in combination with a 90 meter horizontal channel segment. Patch cords of even greater length can be built, but must be used in combination with shorter horizontal cable lengths.
Description
Standards
National : UL 444Description
Construction
28 AWG, stranded tinned copper wire insulated with polyethylene. Two insulated conductors twisted together to form a pair and four such pairs cabled to form the basic unit, jacketed with flame-retardant PVC.
Standards
North American: UL 444 and C22.2 No. 214-02
International: EU Directive 2006/2/96/EC (Low Voltage) and EU Directive 2011/65/EU (RoHS)
Flame Rating
C(UL)US Listed as NEC Type CMR 75C
Features
- Industry-leading OD of 0.150" for a 55% smaller cross-sectional area
- Small bend radius of 0.60"
- 56% lighter than standard CAT 6 patch cable
Benefits
- Small diameter provides for optimal routing within tight racks and cabinets
- Optimized airflow
- Light weight
- Extremenly flexible
