C2G CG01076 Cat6 Utp Patch Cable 3in 28AWG Blue

Product Description

The C2G CG01076 is a Cat6 unshielded twisted pair (UTP) Ethernet patch cable designed for structured cabling and network connectivity applications. Built with 28AWG conductors, this 3-inch cable delivers reliable data transmission at Cat6 performance standards, supporting gigabit and fast Ethernet connections. Its compact 3-inch length makes it well-suited for short patch runs in dense panel configurations, rack enclosures, and tight equipment bays. The blue jacket aids in quick visual identification during installation and troubleshooting. Network technicians, low-voltage installers, and IT infrastructure professionals are the primary users of this cable.

This cable is intended for use in commercial and residential structured wiring installations where short, reliable Cat6 patch connections are needed. Common applications include patch panel to switch connections, short equipment-to-equipment links in server racks, and wall plate to device connections where minimal slack is preferred. The 28AWG construction keeps the cable flexible and manageable in tight spaces without sacrificing signal integrity at Cat6 performance levels.

Key Features

• Cat6 UTP construction supports gigabit Ethernet and high-speed data applications
• 28AWG conductors provide flexibility in confined rack and panel environments
• 3-inch length ideal for short patch runs and dense cabling configurations
• Blue jacket for easy visual identification and cable management
• Sold as a single unit for targeted replacement or supplemental patching

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Cat6 UTP patch cable compatible with RJ45 ports on switches, routers, patch panels, and network interface equipment meeting Cat6 or Cat5e wiring standards.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by low-voltage technicians or network cabling professionals. Verify that all connected equipment ports meet or exceed Cat6 standards to maintain rated performance. Avoid sharp bends or kinks in the cable run, as 28AWG conductors can be sensitive to excessive strain. Follow TIA-568 standards for structured cabling installations in commercial environments.
