Panduit STP28X40MOR Cat 6A Shielded Patch Cable

Product Description

The PANDUIT STP28X40MOR is a Cat 6A shielded patch cable built for structured cabling installations in commercial and industrial environments. Constructed with 28 AWG conductors, this cable delivers reliable 10-Gigabit Ethernet performance while maintaining a slim, flexible form factor that reduces bulk in high-density patching situations. The shielded design provides protection against electromagnetic interference, making it well suited for data centers, server rooms, and equipment closets where cable runs pass near power sources or other sources of signal noise. Network technicians and low-voltage installers are the primary trades that specify and deploy this cable.

This patch cable is used in horizontal and equipment-room cabling applications wherever Cat 6A performance is required. The 28 AWG shielded construction is a common choice for short patch runs between switches, patch panels, and end devices. It is appropriate for both new installations and retrofit upgrades to existing Cat 6A structured cabling plants in commercial buildings and data center environments.

Key Features

• Cat 6A rated for 10-Gigabit Ethernet performance up to 500 MHz
• 28 AWG conductors provide a slimmer, more flexible cable versus standard 23 AWG patch cables
• Shielded construction reduces electromagnetic and radio frequency interference
• Designed for use in high-density patch panel environments where cable management is critical
• Sold as individual unit (1 cable per package)

Compatibility

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

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed low-voltage technician or data cabling installer in accordance with ANSI/TIA-568 structured cabling standards. Ensure that shielded cable terminations are properly bonded to a grounded shielded patch panel to maintain shield continuity throughout the link. Avoid sharp bends beyond the cable minimum bend radius and do not exceed the maximum pulling tension during installation. Verify that all connected equipment and patch panels are rated for Cat 6A shielded cabling before deployment.
