Panduit UTP28X130BL Cat 6A 28 Awg Utp Patch Cord

Product Description

The PANDUIT UTP28X130BL is a Cat 6A unshielded twisted pair (UTP) patch cord constructed with 28 AWG conductors. It delivers the high-frequency performance required for 10-Gigabit Ethernet and other demanding network applications. The slim 28 AWG construction reduces cable bulk in high-density patching environments while maintaining full Cat 6A channel compliance. This patch cord is used by low-voltage cabling technicians and network installers working in structured cabling systems across commercial and enterprise environments.

This patch cord is suited for use in structured cabling installations where Cat 6A performance is required. The UTP design makes it appropriate for environments where external shielding is not required. Its slim profile is well suited for high-density patch panels and switch ports where airflow and cable management are priorities. Network technicians and low-voltage contractors typically deploy this cord at the work area outlet or in the equipment room as part of a complete Cat 6A channel.

Key Features

• Cat 6A rated for 10-Gigabit Ethernet performance up to 500 MHz
• 28 AWG slim conductor construction reduces cable bundle diameter in dense installations
• UTP design requires no grounding infrastructure
• Sold individually as a single unit for flexible inventory management

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard patch cord for use with Cat 6A-rated patch panels, keystone jacks, and RJ-45 switch ports in structured cabling systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by low-voltage cabling technicians following TIA-568 structured cabling standards. Ensure patch cord bend radius is maintained and cables are not kinked or tightly bundled in a way that degrades signal performance. Avoid routing alongside high-voltage cabling without proper separation per NEC guidelines. Inspect RJ-45 connectors for full seating before commissioning the link.
