Red Cat6 slim patch cable 3 ft with RJ45 connectors

C6PC28-RD-03 3 ft Cat6 28 AWG RJ45 patch cable

SKU CH-XAMB-Q53B7 MPN C6PC28-RD-03

A 3 ft red Cat6 patch cable with 28 AWG stranded conductors, gold-plated RJ45 connectors, snagless boots and strain relief for 10 Gbit/s connections

  • 10 Gbit/s data transfer for high-speed networking
  • 28 AWG slim design simplifies routing in tight spaces
  • Snagless booted connectors protect tabs during frequent moves
  • Gold-plated contacts resist corrosion for reliable signal
  • RoHS compliant and lifetime warranty for long-term confidence

What it is

This 3 ft Cat6 patch cable uses 28 AWG stranded conductors with gold-plated RJ45 plugs on both ends. The slim profile and snagless booted design suit tight rack spaces and frequent re-patching in home or office networks.

Practical limits of Cat6 at 3 ft

The cable is rated for 10 Gbit/s data transfer over its full length. Unshielded construction means it meets CM jacket requirements but offers no protection against external electromagnetic interference in noisy environments.

Capacity and headroom

The 28 AWG stranded cores give enough headroom for standard Gigabit and 10 Gigabit Ethernet runs at this distance. Longer runs or PoE loads beyond the gauge rating will hit voltage-drop and crosstalk limits not covered by the 3 ft specification.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 3 ft length or a longer run for my desk-to-switch connection?

The 3 ft cable suits short runs between a device and a nearby patch panel or switch; measure your path and add slack before ordering a longer version.

What does the 10 Gbit/s rating deliver when the cable is plugged into my router and PC?

It supports up to 10 Gbit/s over the full 3 ft length, so a 10 GbE NIC and switch will negotiate that speed without the cable being the bottleneck.

How does the 28 AWG gauge and unshielded design affect what I can plug it into?

The thinner 28 AWG stranded conductors make the cable more flexible for tight bends, while the unshielded CM jacket fits standard RJ45 ports on patch panels, wall plates and network devices.
