Panduit UTP28X19MOR Cat 6A 28 Awg Utp Patch Cord

Product Description

The PANDUIT UTP28X19MOR is a Cat 6A 28 AWG unshielded twisted pair (UTP) patch cord designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and industrial environments. Cat 6A cabling supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet at frequencies up to 500 MHz, making this patch cord suitable for high-bandwidth network infrastructure. The 28 AWG conductor gauge keeps the cable slim and flexible compared to standard 23 AWG Cat 6A constructions, reducing bend radius concerns in high-density patching environments. Licensed network technicians and low-voltage cabling contractors are the primary installers of this product.

This patch cord is used in horizontal and vertical patch panel applications, data center cross-connects, and telecommunications rooms. Its slim profile is especially useful in high-density rack environments where cable management space is limited. The Cat 6A rating supports Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+) applications and is suited for both new construction and retrofit structured cabling projects following TIA-568 standards.

Key Features

• Cat 6A rated for 10 Gigabit Ethernet performance up to 500 MHz
• 28 AWG slim conductor profile reduces cable bulk in high-density patch environments
• UTP construction with no shielding required, simplifying termination and grounding
• Flexible jacket design eases routing in tight cable management trays and panels
• Sold individually as a single unit for precise quantity ordering

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style patch cord for use with Cat 6A-rated patch panels, keystone jacks, and network switches in TIA-568-compliant structured cabling systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage cabling technician in accordance with TIA-568 and applicable local codes. Deactivate the network port before connecting or disconnecting patch cords in live data environments to prevent unintended network disruption. Avoid sharp bend radii that exceed the cable manufacturer minimum to maintain signal integrity. Do not overtighten cable ties or Velcro straps around 28 AWG patch cords, as excessive compression can degrade transmission performance.
