Panduit STP28X20MYL Cat 6A Shielded Patch Cable

Product Description

The PANDUIT STP28X20MYL is a Cat 6A shielded patch cable built for structured cabling installations in commercial and industrial environments. Constructed with 28 AWG conductors, this cable supports high-speed data transmission up to 10 Gbps as required by the Cat 6A specification. The shielded design reduces electromagnetic interference, making it well suited for dense cable runs and environments with high electrical noise. Licensed network installers, low-voltage technicians, and IT infrastructure contractors install this type of cable to terminate equipment in data centers, telecom rooms, and enterprise LAN environments.

This patch cable is used in horizontal and equipment-bay cabling applications where shielded performance and a slim cable profile are required. The 28 AWG construction reduces overall cable diameter compared to standard 23 AWG Cat 6A cables, which helps manage congestion in high-density patch panels and switch enclosures. It is appropriate for connecting switches, routers, servers, and other active network equipment in both new construction and retrofit cabling projects.

Key Features

• Cat 6A specification supports 10 Gbps data transmission at up to 500 MHz
• 28 AWG slim conductor construction reduces cable bulk in high-density environments
• Shielded design suppresses electromagnetic and radio frequency interference
• 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

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage technician or network cabling professional. Shielded patch cables require a properly grounded shielded infrastructure, including shielded patch panels and grounded equipment racks, to achieve full interference rejection. Follow TIA-568 and applicable local codes when routing and terminating structured cabling. Avoid sharp bends exceeding the minimum bend radius to maintain signal integrity.
