Compact Cat 6 patch cable for tight spaces

The Panduit UTP28SP3BL is a three-foot Category 6 patch cord built with 28 AWG conductors and TX6 modular plugs on both ends. Its reduced wire gauge makes the cable noticeably thinner than standard Cat 6 leads, so it routes easily through crowded racks, cable managers or desktop grommets.

Fits standard RJ-45 ports without extra hardware

Each end terminates in a booted RJ-45 male connector that snaps directly into any 45-port switch, router, patch panel or network device. The slim profile frees up space in high-density cabinets and improves airflow around adjacent connections, while the clear boots protect the latch without adding bulk.

Ideal for short runs in dense installs.

Installers who need a flexible, RoHS-compliant jumper for patching equipment within a rack or to a nearby wall jack will appreciate the low-profile design. Buyers who require longer horizontal cable runs or solid-conductor cable for in-wall installation should select a different cable type.

Questions about this item

What is the maximum link length for Cat 6 performance with this 28 AWG cable?

Cat 6 performance is rated for the full channel; the 3 ft length and 28 AWG conductors are intended for short patch connections within that channel.

Does the 28 AWG construction run hotter or draw more power than thicker cables during all-day use?

The cable is passive copper with no active electronics, so it generates no heat and draws no power regardless of wire gauge.

Which devices must already have RJ-45 ports for this cable to work?

Each end terminates in an RJ-45 male connector, so both connected devices need a standard RJ-45 network port.
