Panduit STP28X19MRD Cat 6A Shielded Patch Cable

Product Description

The PANDUIT STP28X19MRD is a Cat 6A shielded patch cable constructed with 28 AWG conductors, designed for structured cabling installations in both commercial and enterprise environments. This cable supports high-speed data transmission up to 10 Gigabit Ethernet and meets the shielding requirements needed to reduce alien crosstalk and electromagnetic interference in dense cable pathways. Network technicians and low-voltage cabling contractors install this cable between patch panels, switches, and network equipment. The shielded construction makes it well suited for environments where signal integrity is critical and cable runs are tightly bundled.

This patch cable is used in horizontal and equipment-room cabling scenarios that demand Cat 6A performance. The 28 AWG conductor gauge keeps the cable slim and flexible compared to standard 23 AWG Cat 6A cables, which simplifies routing in high-density enclosures and reduces bend radius concerns. It is appropriate for data centers, server rooms, and structured wiring closets where port density is high and cable management space is limited.

Key Features

• Cat 6A performance supporting 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications
• 28 AWG conductors for a slimmer, more flexible cable body than standard Cat 6A
• Shielded construction reduces electromagnetic interference and alien crosstalk
• Suitable for high-density patch panel and switch installations
• Sold as a single cable unit

Compatibility

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

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage cabling technician in accordance with ANSI/TIA-568 structured cabling standards. Power down active network ports before connecting or disconnecting patch cables where possible to avoid link disruption. Ensure shielded connectors are properly bonded to the cabinet or panel ground to maintain shield continuity. Do not exceed the minimum bend radius of the cable during routing to preserve signal performance.
