Panduit UTP28X0.5MOR Cat 6A 28 Awg Utp Patch Cord

Product Description

The PANDUIT UTP28X0.5MOR is a Cat 6A unshielded twisted pair (UTP) patch cord rated for 28 AWG conductors and designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and enterprise environments. Built to 10-Gigabit Ethernet performance standards, this patch cord supports high-density patching applications where cable management space is limited. The 28 AWG construction produces a slimmer, more flexible cable compared to standard 23 AWG patch cords, making it well suited for densely populated patch panels and equipment racks. Network technicians and low-voltage cabling installers use this cord to terminate horizontal cabling runs or connect active equipment at the patch panel or switch port.

This patch cord is intended for horizontal and equipment-side connections in structured cabling systems that require Cat 6A performance. Its compact form factor makes it a practical choice for high-density data center and telecom room environments where airflow and cable routing are critical concerns. The orange jacket provides visual identification for port management and circuit tracing in multi-circuit environments.

Key Features

• Cat 6A performance supports 10-Gigabit Ethernet applications
• 28 AWG conductors provide a slimmer, more flexible cable body than standard-gauge alternatives
• UTP construction eliminates the need for grounding infrastructure required by shielded designs
• Orange jacket aids visual port identification and circuit management
• 0.5-meter length suits short equipment-to-panel or switch-to-switch connections

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard patch cord for Cat 6A UTP structured cabling systems using RJ45 terminations in residential, commercial, and data center installations.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage cabling installers should verify that the connected patch panel and switch ports are rated for Cat 6A performance before deployment. De-energize or power down connected equipment at the port level prior to inserting or removing patch cords to avoid disruption to active circuits. Follow TIA-568 bend radius guidelines to preserve cable geometry and transmission performance. Avoid sharp bends, kinks, or excessive pull tension during routing.
