If you need to install a network cable in a tight spot, consider investing in flat or slim network cords to make use of the space available. Cables.com has the right cable for any kind of installation, including slim or flat network patch cables. 

Whether you're looking to get a home office or business complex network up and running, space is at a premium now more than ever. It's important to make use of what you can afford, which means making sure you have the right cable for your site. Attempting to bend cables or install them in tight spaces can result in damage to your devices as a result of fraying, or the quality of your connection might be negatively impacted. It's essential to have the right cable for the nature of your installation, and that might mean investing in network cables, power cords, and more that are meant to run through narrow or angled spaces. 

Slim Ethernet Cables

Ethernet cablesremain the standard connection for many homes and businesses, and the most commonly used are Category6 and Category6A network patch cables. But what do you do if you're working out of a cramped space? Running too many cables alongside each other when the fit is very narrow can result in tangling or fraying, which can damage your cables and weaken the strength of your connection. 

That's why Cables.com stocks Slim Jacket Category6A cables. These 26 awg Cat 6A Patch Cables are excellent for data centers or network hubs with more dense racks and less space. These Cat 6a networking cables are slim, 26awg thickness to allow for more cables to be utilized in smaller or more dense spaces. They are shielded and booted and provide the same speeds and quality as their Category 6A counterparts. You also have the option of purchasing 28 awg Cat6A UTP Slim Ethernet Cables with boots in a variety of colors and lengths, ensuring that you have the right ethernet cable you need for your particular installation.

If you're operating in an even more constricted environment, check out our Cat6 flat ethernet patch cable. Flat network patch cables are useful in residential applications where you want to run the cables under carpets, along walls or behind furniture. They are also thin enough to run anywhere in office environments as well. Being lightweight, they fit better in dense network switches to reduce heat and improve performance. They are only 1.2mm thick, so you can run more cables in the same space as more bulkier ones.

Fiber Optic Pigtails are manufactured with exposed fiber on one end and multiple terminated fiber optic connectors on the other. They're necessary when you need to splice your fiber connection in order to connect it to a patch panel or relevant equipment. When you need to do so with little space to spare, consider Cables.com's 12-Fiber SC/UPC Singlemode flat ribbon pigtail cables. They're manufactured to the same exacting standards as their full-width counterparts, ensuring that you don't have to worry about your connection being compromised just because you're running low on the real estate for a complex network.
