Copper Mini Patch Cords
Product Overview
NetSource Slim 28 AWG Copper Mini-Patch Cords are U.S.-manufactured and tested for quality and performance. Available in both Unshielded (UTP) and Shielded (STP) options, these cords are ideal for high-density and top-of-rack applications where space and airflow are critical.
The smaller diameter of the 28 AWG conductors reduces cable bulk, improves airflow, and supports tighter bend radii for easier cable management. When used with our copper trunks, patch panels, and workstation outlets, these cords provide a reliable end-to-end solution.
