  • Snagless RJ45 connectors protect tabs on 3 ft patch cable

3 ft Cat 6A UTP patch cable

This three-foot Cat 6A patch cable uses unshielded twisted-pair construction with RJ45 connectors on both ends. It is built for 10 GbE links in dense rack or patch-panel environments where space is tight. The grey jacket follows standard colour coding for quick visual identification.

Slim-Net 28 AWG stranded conductors

The 28 AWG stranded design cuts the cable diameter by roughly half compared with conventional patch cords. This saves more than 50 percent of bundle space, improves airflow between ports and gives installers extra finger room during moves, adds and changes. The slim profile also reduces or removes the need for horizontal cable managers.

ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 qualified for 500 MHz

The cable meets ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 performance requirements up to 500 MHz, ensuring reliable 10 GbE transmission over the full three-foot length. Buyers who need shielded cabling for noisy industrial areas or longer runs beyond the supported distance should select a different construction.

Questions about this item

Will the 28 AWG stranded conductors need earlier replacement than standard patch cables?

The stranded 28 AWG construction is built for frequent moves and patching; no extra maintenance is required beyond normal inspection of the RJ45 snagless boots.

What limit appears first when the cable runs at 500 MHz continuously?

The cable meets ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 up to 500 MHz, so the 10 Gbps Ethernet channel limit is reached before the cable's own bandwidth ceiling.

Does the slim 28 AWG design run hotter or draw more power in an all-day 10G link?

The reduced diameter improves airflow around the bundle, and passive copper adds no heat or power draw of its own.
