Panduit STP28X14MOR Cat 6A Shielded Patch Cable

Product Description

The PANDUIT STP28X14MOR is a Cat 6A shielded patch cable built for structured cabling installations where high-speed data transmission and EMI protection are required. Constructed with 28 AWG conductors, this cable is slimmer and lighter than standard 23 AWG Cat 6A cables, making it well-suited for high-density patching environments. The shielded construction helps reduce alien crosstalk and electromagnetic interference, supporting reliable 10-Gigabit Ethernet performance. Network technicians and low-voltage installers use this cable to connect equipment in data centers, server rooms, telecommunications closets, and enterprise LAN environments.

This patch cable is designed for use in structured cabling systems that require Cat 6A shielded connectivity. The slim 28 AWG design reduces cable bulk and improves airflow management in high-density patch panels and switch ports. Typical installation scenarios include data center top-of-rack cabling, horizontal cross-connects, and equipment connections in enclosed cabinets where cable management space is limited. Low-voltage contractors and network infrastructure technicians are the primary installers.

Key Features

• Cat 6A shielded construction supports 10-Gigabit Ethernet performance
• 28 AWG conductors provide a slim, flexible form factor compared to standard 23 AWG Cat 6A cable
• Shielded design reduces EMI and alien crosstalk in high-density environments
• Sold individually as a single patch cable unit

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-use patch cable compatible with Cat 6A shielded patch panels, keystone jacks, and RJ45 switch ports meeting TIA-568-C.2-1 Cat 6A shielded specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by low-voltage cabling technicians or network infrastructure professionals. Ensure shielded patch panels and connecting hardware are properly bonded and grounded before installation, as an ungrounded shield can increase rather than reduce interference. Avoid sharp bends beyond the cable minimum bend radius to maintain signal integrity. Follow TIA-568 standards for structured cabling installation practices.
