Panduit UTP28SP0.2M Cat6 28 Awg Patch Cord

Product Description

The PANDUIT UTP28SP0.2M is a Category 6 performance patch cord constructed with 28 AWG conductors, designed for structured cabling installations in network infrastructure environments. This short-run patch cord delivers reliable Gigabit Ethernet connectivity and meets Cat6 performance standards for data transmission. It is typically installed by low-voltage technicians and network cabling professionals in data centers, telecom rooms, and commercial or residential network closets where space-saving, flexible routing is a priority.

This patch cord is suited for patching between network switches, patch panels, and end devices in high-density environments. The slim 28 AWG construction allows for tighter bend radii and improved airflow management in dense rack installations compared to standard 24 AWG patch cords. It is appropriate for horizontal and equipment bay patching in both commercial and light industrial structured cabling deployments.

Key Features

• Category 6 performance for Gigabit Ethernet and high-speed data applications
• 28 AWG slim conductor construction for flexible routing in high-density racks
• Short 0.2-meter length suited for same-rack or adjacent-panel patching
• Sold as individual unit for precise quantity management

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-use patch cord compatible with Cat6-rated patch panels, keystone jacks, and RJ45 ports meeting TIA-568 structured cabling standards.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage technician following TIA-568 structured cabling guidelines. Power down or place connected network equipment in a maintenance state before replacing active patch connections where disruption is a concern. Avoid sharp bends beyond the minimum bend radius of the cable to maintain signal integrity. Do not overtighten cable management fasteners against the slim jacket.
