HellermannTyton have introduced a slim diameter Category 6 patch cord that is 28 AWG, almost 50% smaller than a standard 24 AWG Category 6 patch cord. This allows for increased density of cabling in patching environments like data centers. The smaller size helps alleviate congestion and improves airflow. The slim diameter patch cords are available in lengths from 1-10m and provide benefits like increased density, flexibility, and improved airflow.
