Compact 28 AWG Cat6e patch cable

The Panduit UTP28SP8RD is an 8 ft Category 6e unshielded twisted-pair cable with RJ-45 male connectors on both ends. Its 28 AWG stranded copper construction yields a small diameter that eases routing in dense racks or tight cable-management channels. The red jacket provides quick visual identification in colour-coded installations. Dual-rated CM/LSZH jacketing meets common flame and low-smoke requirements.

Ideal for high-density patching.

Network administrators who need flexible, space-saving jumpers between switches, panels and servers will appreciate the reduced bulk. Installers requiring thicker conductors for extended horizontal distances or higher power-over-Ethernet budgets should choose a larger-gauge cable. The stranded design supports frequent reconfiguration without fatigue.

28 AWG conductor gauge determines flexibility

The 28 AWG figure is the single specification that dictates both the cable's narrow profile and its practical length limit. Verify that your link distance and power requirements align with this gauge before purchasing.

Questions about this item

Does the 28 AWG stranded copper cable run cooler than thicker patch cords when left connected all day?

The 28 AWG stranded copper construction has a smaller diameter, which reduces bulk and improves airflow in dense patches, helping heat dissipate during continuous use.

What port type do I need on my switch or router for the RJ-45 male connectors on this cable?

Each end uses a standard RJ-45 male network connector, so any device with a female RJ-45 port — switches, routers, patch panels or NICs — will accept it directly.

Will this Category 6e cable work properly with my older Cat 5e wall jacks and patch panel?

Yes, Category 6e is backward compatible; the cable will link at the highest speed both ends support, so it functions normally with Cat 5e components.
