Panduit STP28X3.5MYL Cat 6A Shielded Patch Cable Yellow

Product Description

The PANDUIT STP28X3.5MYL is a Cat 6A shielded twisted-pair patch cable built for structured cabling installations that require reliable high-speed data transmission with electromagnetic interference protection. Constructed with 28 AWG conductors, this cable delivers the slim profile and flexibility needed in high-density patching environments such as server rooms, data centers, and telecom closets. The shielded construction reduces crosstalk and EMI, helping maintain signal integrity at 10 Gigabit Ethernet speeds. Licensed installers and network technicians working in commercial and enterprise environments are the primary users of this cable type.

This patch cable is suited for use in high-density rack and patch panel installations where cable management space is limited. The 28 AWG construction reduces cable diameter compared to standard 24 AWG patch cables, making it easier to route and manage in congested cabinets. The yellow jacket provides quick visual identification for network zone or circuit labeling in structured cabling systems. It is appropriate for both horizontal and equipment-side connections in commercial data infrastructure projects.

Key Features

• Cat 6A performance supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet at up to 500 MHz bandwidth
• 28 AWG slim conductor construction reduces cable bulk in high-density environments
• Shielded design provides EMI and crosstalk rejection for signal integrity
• Yellow jacket allows visual circuit identification in structured cabling installations
• 3.5-meter length suits equipment-to-patch-panel and switch-to-server runs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-use patch cable for Cat 6A shielded structured cabling systems utilizing standard shielded RJ45 keystone jacks and patch panels.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed network technicians or low-voltage cabling contractors following TIA-568 structured cabling standards. Ensure patch panels, jacks, and switches support Cat 6A shielded terminations before installation. Shielded cables require a properly grounded shielded infrastructure to realize full EMI protection benefits. Avoid sharp bends below the minimum bend radius to prevent signal degradation.
