C2G CG01188 Cat6 Slim Patch Cable 7ft White

Product Description

The C2G CG01188 is a slim Cat6 Ethernet patch cable in white, measuring 7 feet in length. Designed for structured network installations, it carries Gigabit Ethernet signals between network switches, patch panels, routers, and end devices. The slim profile reduces cable bulk in high-density environments, making it a practical choice for server rooms, telecom closets, and wall-mounted AV or IT enclosures. Network technicians, low-voltage installers, and IT professionals are the typical end users. The Cat6 specification supports data rates up to 1 Gbps and bandwidth up to 250 MHz, making it suitable for demanding network infrastructure applications.

This patch cable is well-suited for both commercial and residential structured cabling work. Its slim jacket design makes routing in tight spaces and cable management trays easier than with standard-diameter patch cables. Typical use cases include connecting workstations to wall jacks, linking switches to patch panels, and short horizontal runs in data closets. The white jacket color aids visual identification and color-coding schemes in organized installations.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style patch cable compatible with standard RJ45 Cat6 and Cat5e ports on switches, routers, patch panels, and network interface cards in residential and commercial network installations.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by low-voltage technicians or IT professionals and does not require licensed electrical work in most jurisdictions, though local codes should always be confirmed. Ensure the network equipment is powered down or ports are inactive before inserting or removing patch cables in live production environments to avoid unintended traffic interruption. Avoid sharp bends or kinks in the cable run, as exceeding the minimum bend radius of Cat6 cabling can degrade signal performance. Route slim patch cables through appropriate cable management accessories to protect the thinner jacket from abrasion.
