Panduit UTP28X19YL Cat 6A 28 Awg Utp Patch Cord

Product Description

The PANDUIT UTP28X19YL is a Cat 6A unshielded twisted pair (UTP) patch cord constructed with 28 AWG conductors. It provides the high-frequency performance required by TIA-568-C.2-1 Cat 6A specifications, supporting 10-Gigabit Ethernet applications up to 10 Gbps. The slim 28 AWG construction reduces cable bulk in high-density patching environments, making it a practical choice for data centers, server rooms, and structured cabling installations. Network technicians and low-voltage cabling contractors are the primary installers of this cord.

This patch cord is suited for horizontal patch panel connections, switch-to-server links, and inter-rack cabling in both commercial and enterprise network environments. The Cat 6A rating makes it appropriate for installations requiring 10GBase-T performance across structured cabling runs. Its yellow jacket aids in visual cable identification and color-coded zone management in high-density cabinets and patch panels.

Key Features

• Cat 6A rated for 10-Gigabit Ethernet performance
• 28 AWG conductors reduce diameter and weight compared to standard 24 AWG patch cords
• UTP construction with no shielding required for standard structured cabling environments
• Yellow jacket supports color-coded cable management and zone identification
• Sold individually (each) for flexible quantity purchasing

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-fit patch cord for Cat 6A UTP patch panels, keystone jacks, and RJ45 ports conforming to TIA-568-C.2-1 Cat 6A channel specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by low-voltage cabling technicians and network infrastructure contractors. No tools are required for connecting the RJ45 plugs to compatible ports. Verify that all patch panel and equipment ports are Cat 6A rated to maintain channel performance. Do not exceed the manufacturer minimum bend radius, as excessive bending on slim 28 AWG cords can degrade signal performance.
