The Siemon's SkinnyPatch 6A Shielded Modular Cords deliver superior Category 6A performance with a reduced cable diameter for improved airflow and increased flexibility in high-density patching areas. The cord's smaller 28 AWG stranded copper construction offers a significantly tighter bend radius for easier cable routing and enhanced cable management, providing pathway space savings in racks and cabinets while facilitating moves, adds and changes in tight spaces. Confirmed by Intertek, an independent third party test lab, SkinnyPatch 6A Shielded Modular Cords exceed ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 and ISO/IEC 11801 Edition 2.2 performance standards. These cords also feature Siemon's high performance shielded S/FTP construction for exceptional NEXT performance and innovative 360-degree crimp for excellent plug-to-cable strain relief.
