Thin Ethernet Cable

A thin Ethernet cable (also called cheapernet, thin wire, or thinnet) is an economical, portable, and flexible cable designed to connect devices in a local network. Thin-Bodied Ethernet cable has the advantage over traditional Ethernet cable; it saves space and can be routed through smaller spaces. Furthermore, Ethernet cabling provides high performance and is often combined with RJ connectors for universal connection to PCs, routers, switch boxes, network media players, and switches. 

Features of Thin Ethernet Cable

• This thin-bodied ethernet cable possesses a variety of unique features given as:
•  It is thinner, more flexible, lighter, and more economical.
• It is easy to install and saves space.
• It has high Mbps transmission speed.
• This slim cable meets or exceeds Category 6 performance in compliance with the TIA/EIA 568-C.2 standard.
•  It is durable and has a long shelf-life.
• It features high-speed data transfer for server applications, cloud computing, video surveillance, and online high-definition video streaming.

Benefits You Get

• Because a slim patch cord is over 30% thinner than a regular cable, it takes up less space, which can be beneficial in tight and crowded spaces.
• The conductors of this cable are insulated and protected against electromagnetic interference (EMI) brought on by power lines, heavy equipment, and fluorescent lights.
•  A slim patch cable can improve airflow and thus contribute to better device cooling.
• This cable passes the Fluke test for Cat6 and even Cat8 and is ideal for use with PoE applications.
• It conforms to ANSI/TIA-568.2-D for lengths up to 15 meters (49 feet).

 Application Areas

Due to its unmatchable characteristics, this thin cable is used in various applications such as:

• Business: Many businesses utilise local area networks for a more secure and reliable internet setup than can be provided by wireless connectivity.
• Offices and Commercials: In this case, thin Ethernet cabling is often run through desk cable grommets, floor panels, and wall-mounted cable channels in office and commercial environments. 
• Fire Safety: This cable is classified as a low voltage, which makes it unlikely to cause a fire. They come as LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) and LSF (Low Smoke and Fume) for added fire safety in poor-ventilated areas.
