Panduit UTP28X19GY Cat 6A 28 Awg Utp Patch Cord

Product Description

The PANDUIT UTP28X19GY is a Category 6A unshielded twisted pair (UTP) patch cord constructed with 28 AWG conductors. This patch cord is designed to deliver high-speed data transmission in structured cabling systems, supporting the bandwidth and insertion-loss requirements of 10-Gigabit Ethernet applications. The slim 28 AWG build reduces cable bundle diameter compared to standard 23 AWG patch cords, improving airflow in high-density panel and switch environments. It is installed by network technicians, low-voltage cabling contractors, and data center infrastructure teams.

This patch cord is suited for horizontal patch field connections in enterprise data centers, server rooms, telecommunications rooms, and high-density rack installations. The UTP construction makes it appropriate for environments where shielding is not required. Its compact diameter is particularly useful in structured cabling scenarios where port-to-port density is high and bend radius management is critical.

Key Features

• Category 6A performance supports 10-Gigabit Ethernet transmission
• 28 AWG slim conductor reduces bundle diameter and improves rack airflow
• UTP construction suited for standard unshielded cabling environments
• Sold as a single unit for flexible quantity purchasing

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style patch cord compatible with Cat 6A UTP keystone jacks, patch panels, and RJ45 ports meeting TIA-568 Category 6A standards.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by low-voltage cabling technicians or network infrastructure contractors. Verify that all connecting hardware is rated for Cat 6A to maintain channel performance. Follow TIA-568 guidelines for bend radius and avoid sharp kinks that can degrade transmission performance. Power down connected active equipment before replacing patch cords in live environments where disruption is a concern.
