Panduit UTP28X19OR Cat 6A 28 Awg Utp Patch Cord

Product Description

The PANDUIT UTP28X19OR is a Category 6A unshielded twisted pair (UTP) patch cord constructed with 28 AWG conductors. Patch cords at this gauge are slimmer and more flexible than standard 23 AWG alternatives, making cable management easier in high-density environments. This cord carries data signals between network equipment such as switches, patch panels, and end devices. It is designed for structured cabling installations where Cat 6A performance is required, supporting 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications. Installation is typically performed by low-voltage cabling technicians and network infrastructure professionals.

This patch cord is suited for use in both commercial and enterprise network environments where high-density patching is a priority. The slim 28 AWG profile reduces cable bundle diameter and improves airflow in equipment racks and cabinets. It is appropriate for data centers, server rooms, telecom closets, and office network installations requiring Cat 6A-rated connectivity. The orange jacket provides easy visual identification for port and circuit management.

Key Features

• Category 6A rated for 10 Gigabit Ethernet performance
• 28 AWG conductors for a slim, flexible form factor compared to standard 23 AWG patch cords
• UTP construction with no shielding required for typical structured cabling environments
• Orange jacket color aids in visual circuit identification and port management
• Single-unit packaging for targeted replacement or incremental deployment

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-fit patch cord for Cat 6A-rated patch panels, keystone jacks, and RJ45 ports in structured cabling systems meeting TIA-568 Category 6A specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by low-voltage cabling technicians following TIA-568 structured cabling standards. Ensure patch panel ports and switch ports are Cat 6A rated to maintain channel performance. Avoid sharp bends below the minimum bend radius of the cable, and do not over-bundle patch cords in a way that creates sustained tension or kinking. No special tools beyond standard RJ45 patch cord handling practices are required for end-to-end patching.
