Intellinet 077-2018/05yl Cat 6A Slim Patch Cord 0.5ft

Product Description

The INTELLINET 077-2018/05yl is a Category 6A slim-boot patch cord built for structured wiring installations where port density is high and cable management space is tight. At 0.5 feet in length, it connects patch panels, network switches, and professional AV equipment with minimal slack. The cord uses 28 AWG stranded bare copper conductors and gold-plated RJ45 connectors to maintain signal integrity at CAT 6A transmission speeds. A 3.8 mm PVC jacket keeps the overall diameter compact, and the snagless boot protects the locking tab during installation and removal in crowded environments.

This patch cord is suited for data centers, server rooms, telecommunications closets, and any high-density rack installation where standard-diameter cables create congestion. Its 0.5-foot length makes it a direct run solution for equipment mounted in adjacent rack units or side-by-side patch panels. Licensed electricians and network infrastructure technicians typically deploy this cable during structured cabling builds or equipment refreshes where precise, short-run connections are required.

Key Features

• Category 6A performance for high-speed data transmission
• 28 AWG stranded bare copper conductors for flexible routing
• Gold-plated RJ45 connectors for reliable contact and corrosion resistance
• 3.8 mm slim PVC jacket designed for high-density port environments
• Snagless boot protects locking tab in tight cable runs
• Compliant with ANSI/TIA/EIA wiring standards, UL listed, and RoHS certified

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard patch cord for CAT 6A structured wiring systems, compatible with RJ45 patch panels, network switches, and professional AV equipment meeting ANSI/TIA/EIA cabling standards.

Installation Notes

Network technicians should power down or disable the relevant switch port before connecting or disconnecting patch cords in live environments when possible. Route cables through cable managers before seating RJ45 connectors to avoid strain on the boot. Do not bend the cord below its minimum bend radius, as this can degrade signal performance at CAT 6A frequencies. Follow TIA-568 structured cabling guidelines for proper patch cord management and labeling.
