Panduit STP28X14MBL Cat 6a Shielded Patch Cable

Product Description

The PANDUIT STP28X14MBL is a Category 6a shielded patch cable constructed with 28 AWG conductors. It provides high-speed, low-crosstalk structured cabling connections in network installations where electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding is required. The slim 28 AWG construction reduces cable bulk in high-density patch environments while maintaining full Cat 6a performance. This cable is installed by licensed low-voltage technicians, IT infrastructure teams, and structured cabling contractors working in commercial, industrial, and data center environments.

This patch cable is suited for use in high-density patch panels, server racks, and telecommunications rooms where space management is critical. The shielded design makes it appropriate for environments with elevated EMI, such as industrial facilities, data centers with dense equipment, and installations running near power conduit. It is used to terminate structured cabling runs between network switches, patch panels, and active equipment.

Key Features

• Category 6a rated for 10 Gigabit Ethernet performance up to 500 MHz
• 28 AWG conductors reduce cable diameter for improved airflow and bend radius in dense installations
• Shielded construction provides EMI and RFI rejection
• Sold individually as a single patch cable unit

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard patch cable for use with Cat 6a shielded keystone jacks, patch panels, and RJ45 ports in structured cabling systems.

Installation Notes

This cable is typically installed by low-voltage cabling technicians following TIA-568 and ISO 11801 structured cabling standards. Ensure all mating jacks and patch panel ports are rated for Cat 6a shielded terminations to maintain full system performance. Verify that shielding continuity is maintained throughout the channel, including proper bonding at both ends. Do not exceed the minimum bend radius during routing.
