CableMax Cat.6 slim patch cable uses 30 AWG 4 pair UTP Ethernet wire and is designed to optimize the space in telecommunication room and data center. Cable diameter is mere 3mm (0.12") compared to standard 5.8mm (0.23") and provides 48% reduction in diameter and 73% reduction in space. Small size means cables are easier to manage, higher-density patching is more feasible, and valuable rack space can be used for equipments and ventilation, rather than cable management. It is also suitable for residentioal installation to keep cabling around the cable/DSL modem and router low profile. Our slim patch cable comes with neat looking clear strain releaf boots. Available length is 0.5Ft to 15Ft.
CableMax patch cables are made of 100% pure copper wire and 50 micron gold plated RJ45 plugs. We do not use CCA (aluminum wire).

FAQ
TIA/EIA
TIA/EIA is abbreviation of Telecommunication Industry Association and Electronics Industry Alliance that sets telecommunication standards in the US. CableMax patch cable complies with the latest TIA/EIA telecommunication cable standards.
T-568B Wiring
There are two standards for wiring color code, 5???68A and 568B. While there's no difference in connectivity between 568A and 568B, 568B is the most prevalent wi ring color code in the US. Our patch cable is 568B wired.
UTP and STP
UTP is Unshielded Twisted Pair and STP is Shielded Twisted Pair. STP cable is wrapped in metal foil or braid. Both have the same Ethernet communication performance, but STP has better protection against Electro-Magnetis noise from outside. UTP is accepted for residential and general commercial installation.
CM rated jacket
CM for communication. It is set by UL (Underwriters labolatory) to indicate the wire jacket material safety. CM rating is safe to use in residential and general commercial installtions.
24AWG and Stranded
AWG (American Wire Gauge) indicates wire thickness. Higher the number, thinner the wire. 24AWG or 26AWG is commonly used for ethernet cables. Stranded wire is a bundle of thin wires as oposed to solid wire that is single solid wire. Stranded wire is more flexible than solid wire and commonly used for indoor network wiring such as patch cable.
RoHS
Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive. This directive restricts the use of hazardous materials such as lead or mercury in the manufacture of electronic and electrical equipments. CableMax cables are all RoHS compliant.
