Category 6 Performance
28 AWG UTP Patch Cords
specifications
Category 6/Class E, UTP, small diameter patch cords are constructed of
28 AWG, unshielded, twisted pair, stranded copper (dual-rated CM/LSZH)
cable with high performance RJ45 modular plugs. Patch cords are offered
in multiple lengths and colors for design flexibility.

key features and benefits
Smaller diameter, flexible
cable design
Tight bend radius enables improved cable routing and management
in high density applications. Smaller cable diameter allows twice the
amount of cords to be routed through cable managers and pathways
compared to traditional Category 6 patch cords. Reduced cable diameter
facilitates improved air flow, cooling, resulting in lower operating costs
than traditional Category 6 patch cords
Confidence that each patch cord delivers critical electrical component-
level performance
Centered de-embedded plug performs in center of ANSI/TIA-568-C.2
Category 6 component range, ensuring interoperability and optimum
performance
Optimizes performance and consistency by reducing untwist at plug
Prevents snags and provides easy release, saving time on frequent
moves, adds, and changes
U/UTP stranded 28 AWG copper cable with a nominal diameter of
0.150 in. (3.8mm) allows for high density installations and superior
panel cable management
Provides identification of performance level, length, and quality
control number for traceability
Plug contact plated with 50 microinches of gold and rated to 2500
mating cycles
Meets individual length and color-coding requirements for greater
system flexibility
Plug lock-in and latch guard devices to prevent unauthorized or
unintended removal of patch cords
