Slim 28-AWG Cat6 patch cable

This 3 ft Blue Cat6 UTP cable uses 28-AWG conductors that are nearly half the diameter of standard 24-AWG cabling. The slim profile saves space in high-density racks and patch panels while improving airflow and heat dissipation. It is built for Gigabit networking in crowded telecom rooms and data centres.

Gold-plated contacts and snagless boots

The 50-micron gold-plated RJ45 contacts provide superior conductivity for reliable signal transmission. Snagless boots protect the connector tabs from damage during installation and routine moves, adds and changes. The cable meets ANSI/TIA-568-C2 performance standards and is tested to 250 MHz.

Flexible routing without cable managers

The small footprint and high flexibility allow easy routing through tight pathways, often eliminating the need for horizontal cable managers. Installers benefit from extra finger space between patched cables and clearer port visibility. Buyers who need shielded cabling for noisy environments or longer runs beyond 3 ft should consider other options.

Questions about this item

Will the snagless boots on the RJ45 connectors need replacing after repeated patch-panel changes?

The snagless boots are moulded onto each RJ45 connector to prevent latch damage during installation and moves; they are not a separate replaceable part.

At what point does the 28-AWG conductor become the bottleneck for a 250-MHz Cat6 link?

The cable is tested to the 250-MHz Cat6 industry standard, so the conductor gauge supports the full rated bandwidth for the 3 ft length.

Does the slim 0.161-inch diameter cause the cable to run warmer when PoE is delivered continuously?

The reduced diameter improves airflow around bundled cables, enhancing heat dissipation compared with standard 24-AWG patch cords.
