Panduit STP28X5MOR Cat 6a Shielded Patch Cable

Product Description

The PANDUIT STP28X5MOR is a Cat 6a shielded patch cable built for structured cabling installations that demand reliable high-speed data transmission. Constructed with 28 AWG conductors, this cable delivers the shielding performance required to suppress electromagnetic interference in dense cable environments. Cat 6a specification supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet at frequencies up to 500 MHz, making it a standard choice for data center, enterprise, and commercial LAN infrastructure. Network technicians and low-voltage cabling contractors install this cable to connect patch panels, switches, servers, and end-user ports in structured cabling systems.

This patch cable is suited for horizontal and equipment room patching in commercial and enterprise environments where shielded cabling is specified. The 28 AWG construction offers reduced diameter and weight compared to standard 24 AWG patch cables, which helps with cable management in high-density rack and panel installations. It is sold as a single cable per unit.

Key Features

• Cat 6a rated for 10 Gigabit Ethernet performance
• 28 AWG conductors for reduced cable diameter and improved bend radius in high-density environments
• Shielded construction for EMI suppression in electrically noisy installations
• Single-unit packaging suitable for individual patching applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style patch cable compatible with Cat 6a shielded patch panels, keystone jacks, and RJ45 ports in structured cabling systems that comply with TIA-568 shielded cabling standards.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed low-voltage cabling technicians following TIA-568 structured cabling guidelines. Ensure that the shielded cable and termination points are properly bonded to a common ground to maintain shielding effectiveness throughout the link. Do not exceed the minimum bend radius for 28 AWG patch cables during routing. Power down connected active equipment before swapping patch connections in live environments where possible.
