Panduit UTP28X130RD Cat 6A 28 Awg Utp Patch Cord

Product Description

The PANDUIT UTP28X130RD is a Cat 6A 28 AWG unshielded twisted pair (UTP) patch cord designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and enterprise network environments. This patch cord supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications and meets Cat 6A channel performance requirements. The 28 AWG conductor gauge makes this cord slimmer and more flexible than standard 23 AWG patch cords, allowing for easier routing and improved airflow management in high-density patching environments. It is installed by network technicians and low-voltage cabling professionals.

This patch cord is suited for use in data centers, server rooms, telecommunications closets, and enterprise LAN deployments. The reduced diameter of 28 AWG construction is particularly useful in high-density patch panel installations where cable management and bend radius control are critical. It supports structured cabling systems requiring Cat 6A performance for both PoE and standard data applications.

Key Features

• Cat 6A performance supporting 10 Gigabit Ethernet transmission
• 28 AWG conductor gauge for slim, flexible routing in dense environments
• UTP construction with unshielded twisted pairs for standard structured cabling
• Red jacket color for easy identification and cable management
• Sold as individual unit for precise quantity ordering

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard patch cord for use with Cat 6A rated patch panels, keystone jacks, and network switches in structured cabling systems meeting TIA-568-C.2-1 or ISO 11801 Class EA specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage technician or network cabling professional in accordance with TIA-568 standards. Ensure patch cord bend radius is maintained and the cord is not kinked or stapled during routing. Verify that connected equipment and patch panels are rated for Cat 6A to maintain channel compliance. Power down or follow site safety protocols before servicing active network equipment.
