The SLIMpatch cables from the SLIM brand are a solution for various cabling problems. Although they visually resemble a flat ribbon cable, the SLIMpatch cables meet the Category 6 specifications, making them suitable for 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, and 1000BASE-T applications, including Gigabit Ethernet. Remarkably, three SLIMpatch cables have the diameter of a single standard CAT6 patch cable. Despite their extremely thin design, the cable maintains twisting of the individual pairs. Additionally, it features a wide, flexible strain relief and a practical length print on both ends, supporting Power over Ethernet (PoE according to IEEE802.3af).

Application: Typical applications for SLIMpatch cables include:

• Overcrowded server or network cabinets or cable ducts
• Telephone panels or switches with high port densities: very short cables allow for easy patching from switch to switch or switch to panel without a cable management panel
• Connection of VoIP phones, as the cables are extremely flexible and thus easy to lay on a desk
• Applications in industry or manufacturing where Ethernet connections are needed but space is limited
• As a patch cable in the laptop bag for technicians and field service representatives
• In a private setting, to run a patch cable under the carpet or along the chair rail.
