Cat6 UTP patch cable for short runs

This 5 ft Cat6 unshielded twisted-pair cable uses 28 AWG conductors and a snagless RJ-45 design. Its slim diameter is 36 % smaller than standard Cat5e patch cords, making it easier to route through tight cable-management channels. The gray jacket meets the ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 standard for patch-cord performance. Ideal for connecting a desktop, laptop or console to a nearby switch or wall jack.

Home-office and small-office patching

Suits users who need a short, flexible link between a device and a network port in the same room or rack. The reduced bulk helps when multiple cables share a single pathway or patch panel. Not suited for installers who require shielded cable for high-EMI environments, runs longer than the supplied length, or plenum-rated jackets for in-wall installations.

28 AWG conductor gauge

The 28 AWG construction is the key specification that determines bend radius, insertion force and maximum recommended run length. It enables the slim profile and snagless boot but limits the cable to patch-cord distances rather than full horizontal cabling. Verify that your project allows 28 AWG patch cords before purchasing.

Questions about this item

Will the 28 AWG conductors need replacement sooner than thicker patch cords?

The 28 AWG construction is built to the ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 patch-cord standard, so it meets the same performance requirements as standard cables.

What limits throughput first when the 5 ft link runs at full gigabit speed all day?

The cable is rated to the Cat 6 ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 specification, so the link budget and connector return loss set the ceiling, not the 1.52 m length.

Does the unshielded 28 AWG design run warmer or draw more power than a shielded Cat 6 cable?

Ethernet patch cords carry only signal current, so they generate no measurable heat and consume no power regardless of shielding or gauge.
