Ortronics 576-RD20-006 Cat6 Patch Cable 6 Ft 28AWG Utp

Product Description

The ORTRONICS 576-RD20-006 is a Category 6 unshielded twisted pair (UTP) patch cable designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and residential network environments. Built with 28AWG conductors and measuring 6 feet in length, this cable provides reliable Ethernet connectivity between network equipment, patch panels, and wall outlets. The green jacket aids in visual cable identification and organization in high-density installations. Licensed low-voltage technicians and network cabling contractors are the primary installers for this type of patch cable.

This Cat6 patch cable is suited for horizontal and equipment-room patching in data centers, server rooms, telecommunications closets, and office environments. It supports standard Cat6 performance requirements for Ethernet networking. The 28AWG conductor gauge makes it a lighter, more flexible option compared to standard 24AWG Cat6 cables, which is useful in dense patch panel installations where cable management space is limited.

Key Features

• Category 6 UTP construction for standard Gigabit Ethernet patching
• 28AWG conductor gauge for increased flexibility in tight cable management scenarios
• 6-foot length suitable for equipment-room and rack-to-rack connections
• Green jacket color for easy visual identification and color-coded cable management
• Sold individually (unit of measure: each)

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard patch cable for use with Cat6 and Cat6E patch panels, keystone jacks, and RJ45 network equipment ports in structured cabling systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed low-voltage cabling technicians or IT infrastructure professionals. Patch cables should be routed through proper cable managers to avoid sharp bends that can degrade signal performance. Ensure that all termination points are clean and undamaged before connecting. Follow TIA-568 standards for Cat6 structured cabling installations.
