Panduit STP28X2.5MGR Cat 6A Shielded Patch Cord 2.5M

Product Description

The PANDUIT STP28X2.5MGR is a Cat 6A shielded patch cord designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and industrial network environments. Built with 28 AWG conductors and a shielded construction, this patch cord supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet performance while maintaining a slim, flexible form factor suited for high-density patch panels and switch ports. The shielding provides protection against electromagnetic interference, making it appropriate for environments where signal integrity is critical. Licensed network technicians and low-voltage cabling contractors are the primary installers of this component.

This patch cord is used in horizontal and equipment room cabling applications where Cat 6A performance is required. At 2.5 meters in length, it is well suited for rack-to-rack connections, patch panel to switch runs, and equipment bay installations in server rooms, data centers, and commercial telecom closets. The 28 AWG slim design reduces cable bulk in dense installations, improving airflow and cable management in high-port-count environments.

Key Features

• Cat 6A rated for 10 Gigabit Ethernet performance up to 500 MHz
• 28 AWG slim conductor construction reduces cable diameter versus standard patch cords
• Shielded design provides electromagnetic interference rejection
• 2.5 meter length suits equipment room and rack-level connections
• Sold as individual unit for precise quantity ordering

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-use patch cord compatible with Cat 6A shielded jack and patch panel systems meeting TIA-568 and ISO/IEC 11801 structured cabling standards.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by low-voltage cabling technicians or network infrastructure contractors. Verify that all connecting jacks, patch panels, and switch ports are rated for Cat 6A shielded terminations before installation. Do not exceed the minimum bend radius of the cable during routing, as excessive bending can degrade signal performance. Follow ANSI/TIA-568 guidelines for structured cabling installations in commercial environments.
