Panduit UTP28X13GR Cat 6A 28 Awg Utp Patch Cord

Product Description

The PANDUIT UTP28X13GR is a Cat 6A 28 AWG unshielded twisted pair (UTP) patch cord designed for structured cabling installations. Built to TIA-568 Category 6A performance standards, this patch cord supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications at frequencies up to 500 MHz. The 28 AWG slim-profile construction reduces cable bulk and improves airflow management in high-density patching environments. It is a direct-connect solution used by network technicians and low-voltage cabling contractors in both new installations and moves, adds, and changes.

This patch cord is suited for horizontal cross-connect and equipment patching in data centers, server rooms, telecommunications closets, and enterprise network environments. The Cat 6A rating makes it appropriate for 10GBase-T Ethernet runs where channel performance and alien crosstalk margins are required by the installation specification. It is sold as a single unit.

Key Features

• Cat 6A performance supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet and 500 MHz bandwidth
• 28 AWG slim construction reduces bundle diameter and improves airflow in dense patch panels
• UTP design with no shielding required, simplifying termination and grounding requirements
• Factory-terminated for consistent, tested performance right out of the box
• Single-unit packaging for flexible quantity purchasing

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style patch cord for use with Cat 6A patch panels, keystone jacks, and modular outlets in structured cabling systems built to TIA-568-C.2-1 Category 6A specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by low-voltage cabling technicians or network technicians following TIA-568 and local building code requirements. No tools are required for patching; simply seat the RJ45 connectors fully into the port until the locking tab clicks. Avoid sharp bends below the minimum bend radius and do not route alongside high-voltage wiring without adequate separation. Patch cords should not be used as horizontal cabling runs exceeding the limits defined by the channel specification.
