C2G CG01072 Cat6 Utp Patch Cable 1 Foot 28AWG

Product Description

The C2G CG01072 is a Cat6 unshielded twisted pair (UTP) patch cable designed for structured network cabling installations. Built with 28AWG conductors, this 1-foot cable is well suited for short runs between patch panels and switches, or between wall jacks and nearby network equipment. The blue jacket provides easy visual identification in dense cable environments. Licensed electricians, low-voltage cabling technicians, and IT infrastructure professionals use this type of cable for both new installations and maintenance work in commercial and residential settings.

This cable is intended for horizontal and equipment-room patch applications where a compact 1-foot length keeps cable management tight and organized. Its Cat6-rated construction supports network performance up to 1 Gigabit Ethernet and is appropriate for use in structured cabling systems in office environments, data closets, server rooms, and light commercial installations. The 28AWG conductor gauge makes this cable flexible and easy to route in tight spaces without excessive bending stress on terminations.

Key Features

• Cat6 UTP construction supports Gigabit Ethernet performance
• 28AWG conductors provide flexibility for tight-space routing
• 1-foot length ideal for short patch runs and panel-to-switch connections
• Blue jacket for quick visual identification and color-coded cable management
• Unshielded design suited for standard commercial and residential environments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard patch cable compatible with Cat6 and backward-compatible Cat5e structured cabling systems using RJ45 terminations.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage cabling technicians and electricians should follow TIA-568 standards when deploying Cat6 patch cables in structured cabling systems. Avoid sharp bend radii that exceed the cable minimum bend specification, as this can degrade signal integrity. Ensure patch panels and switch ports are free of debris before seating connectors. No special tools are required for plug-and-play patch cable installation.
