Panduit

Panduit UTP28SP3GR network ethernet cable 28 AWG 3 ft RJ-45

SKU CH-PMGN-GEY0J MPN UTP28SP3GR

Connects network devices with a Category 6 patch cord using 28 AWG wiring and RJ-45 plugs on both ends

  • Category 6 performance for gigabit networks
  • 28 AWG thin conductors simplify tight routing
  • 3 ft length keeps desk runs tidy
  • TX6 modular plugs ensure secure connections
  • Green jacket aids quick cable identification

Category 6 patch cable for short runs

This Panduit Category 6 patch cord uses 28 AWG conductors and TX6 modular plugs on both ends. At three feet long it suits rack-to-panel links or desktop connections where a compact lead is preferred. The clear green jacket aids colour-coded cable management in dense patching fields.

Thermals noise and power draw

Passive copper construction means no active cooling, no fan noise and zero electrical power draw. Heat generation is negligible during normal data transmission. The slim 28 AWG design improves airflow in crowded cabinets compared with thicker gauge alternatives.

Deciding specification — 28 AWG Category 6

The 28 AWG conductor size sets the bend radius and insertion-force profile that determine whether the cord fits your patch-panel density and port spacing. Buyers who need a larger gauge for longer horizontal runs or PoE budgets beyond the standard should select a different cable.

Questions about this item

How do I install this 28 AWG Category 6 patch cable and what step is often missed?

Align each RJ-45 plug with the port and push until the latch clicks; the step people miss is confirming both latches are fully seated so the connection does not drop under vibration.

What maintenance or replacement will this green patch cord need over time?

Inspect the RJ-45 latches and boot for cracks after moves; replace the cable if the latch no longer holds or if the 28 AWG conductors show kinks that degrade Category 6 performance.

What limit appears first on this 3 ft Category 6 link during sustained heavy traffic?

The 28 AWG conductors reach their insertion-loss budget before longer gauges, so sustained high-throughput loads will hit the attenuation limit of this short patch cord first.
