Panduit STP28X1MGR Cat 6A Shielded Patch Cable 1M

Product Description

The PANDUIT STP28X1MGR is a Cat 6A shielded patch cable designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and enterprise network environments. Built to 28 AWG specifications with full shielding, this cable supports 10-Gigabit Ethernet and other high-bandwidth protocols over a 1-meter run length. The shielded construction reduces alien crosstalk and electromagnetic interference, which is critical in high-density patch panel environments and data center deployments. Licensed low-voltage technicians and network infrastructure installers are the typical trade professionals working with this cable.

This patch cable is suited for use in telecommunications rooms, server rooms, and data centers where Cat 6A performance is required. The 28 AWG conductor size makes it a slim, flexible option compared to standard 23 AWG Cat 6A cables, allowing for improved airflow management and easier routing in congested cable trays and patch panel fields. It is appropriate for both new construction and retrofit structured cabling projects requiring shielded channel compliance.

Key Features

• Cat 6A rated for 10-Gigabit Ethernet at frequencies up to 500 MHz
• 28 AWG conductor delivers a slimmer, more flexible cable body than standard Cat 6A
• Shielded construction reduces alien crosstalk and EMI in high-density installations
• 1-meter length suitable for short patch field and equipment rack connections
• Sold individually as a single unit

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style patch cable for use with Cat 6A shielded keystone jacks, patch panels, and RJ45 equipment ports in structured cabling systems meeting TIA-568-C.2-1 or ISO/IEC 11801 Class EA channel requirements.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage technician or network cabling professional in accordance with TIA-568 standards and applicable local codes. Ensure both endpoints use shielded infrastructure components and that the shield is properly bonded to ground at the panel to maintain shielded channel integrity. Avoid sharp bends beyond the minimum bend radius to prevent signal degradation. Do not force connectors into ports.
