Cables To Go 01077 Cat6 network ethernet cable 4 ft blue 28AWG

4 ft Cat6 patch cable for tight runs

The Cables To Go 01077 is a 4 ft Cat6 UTP patch cable with RJ-45 male connectors on both ends. Its 28AWG construction gives a 36% reduction in diameter compared to standard Cat5e cables, making it easier to route through crowded panels or narrow trunking. The snagless connector design protects the locking tab during repeated insertion and removal. It meets the ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 standard for patch cord performance.

Sustained signal integrity on 28AWG conductors

Thinner conductors have higher resistance per metre, so voltage drop and insertion loss increase with length. At 4 ft the cable stays well within the Cat6 channel limits defined by the ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 standard, maintaining reliable throughput for Gigabit Ethernet under continuous load. The unshielded twisted-pair geometry relies on pair balance rather than a foil screen, which is adequate for typical office or home environments with moderate electromagnetic interference.

28AWG diameter decides fit in dense installs

The 36% slimmer profile is the single specification that determines whether this cable suits your installation. If you need to pack multiple patch cords into a high-density switch, a shallow cable manager or a narrow conduit, the reduced diameter is the enabling factor. Builders who need shielded cabling for noisy industrial sites or longer runs that exceed the 4 ft reach should select a different construction.
