Panduit UTP28X10MYL Cat 6A 28 Awg Utp Patch Cord

Product Description

The PANDUIT UTP28X10MYL is a Category 6A unshielded twisted pair (UTP) patch cord constructed with 28 AWG conductors and terminated with RJ45 connectors on each end. This patch cord is designed for structured cabling installations where high-speed data transmission and physical flexibility are required. The slim 28 AWG build reduces cable bulk in high-density patching environments, making it a practical choice for data centers, telecom rooms, and network closets. Licensed network technicians and low-voltage cabling contractors are the primary installers for this type of patch cord.

This patch cord is suited for horizontal and equipment-side connections in Cat 6A structured cabling systems supporting 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications. The yellow jacket aids in visual cable identification and color-coded patching schemes. It is appropriate for use in both commercial and enterprise network environments where IEEE 802.3an 10GBASE-T performance is required over copper cabling infrastructure.

Key Features

• Category 6A performance supporting 10 Gigabit Ethernet over copper
• 28 AWG slim-profile conductors reduce cable bulk in dense patch environments
• UTP construction — no shielding required, simplified termination and routing
• Yellow jacket for color-coded circuit identification
• RJ45 terminated both ends for standard patch panel and equipment port connections

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style patch cord for use with Category 6A-rated patch panels, keystone jacks, and network switch ports in structured cabling systems compliant with TIA-568-C.2-1 and ISO/IEC 11801 Cat 6A channel requirements.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by low-voltage cabling technicians or licensed network contractors in accordance with TIA-568 and applicable local codes. Avoid sharp bends or kinking the cable below the minimum bend radius, as this can degrade signal performance. Ensure patch panels and connected ports are rated Cat 6A to maintain channel compliance. Power down connected active equipment before swapping patch cords in live racks when required by site safety procedures.
