Panduit UTP28X1.5MGY Cat 6A 28 Awg Utp Patch Cord

Product Description

The PANDUIT UTP28X1.5MGY is a Cat 6A unshielded twisted pair (UTP) patch cord constructed with 28 AWG conductors and terminated for high-speed structured cabling applications. At 1.5 meters in length, it delivers the bandwidth and insertion loss performance required by TIA-568-C.2-1 Cat 6A standards. The slim-diameter 28 AWG design reduces bend radius and improves airflow management in high-density patching environments. This patch cord is installed by network technicians and low-voltage cabling contractors in data centers, telecommunications rooms, and enterprise LAN infrastructure.

This patch cord is suited for high-density patch panel installations where cable management and airflow are critical considerations. The 1.5-meter length fits typical horizontal cross-connect and equipment patching distances in rack and cabinet environments. It supports 10-Gigabit Ethernet applications as defined by IEEE 802.3an when deployed within compliant channel configurations. Low-voltage cabling installers and IT infrastructure technicians are the primary end users.

Key Features

• Cat 6A performance supports 10GBase-T applications up to 100 meters channel length
• 28 AWG slim conductor profile reduces cable diameter for high-density patch fields
• UTP construction requires no grounding — simplifies termination and troubleshooting
• 1.5-meter length suits short equipment-to-panel and switch-to-panel runs
• Factory-terminated ends provide consistent insertion loss and return loss performance

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style patch cord compatible with standard 8P8C (RJ45) Cat 6A patch panels and network equipment ports in structured cabling systems built to TIA-568 or ISO/IEC 11801 Cat 6A channel specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by low-voltage cabling technicians or IT infrastructure personnel — no special tools are required beyond standard patch cord handling practices. Power down or logically disable the port before connecting or disconnecting in sensitive network environments to prevent link-state disruption. Avoid sharp bend radii below the minimum specified for 28 AWG UTP cable to maintain signal integrity. Follow TIA-568 and applicable local codes for structured cabling installations.
