Panduit UTP28X1MVL Cat 6A 28 Awg Utp Patch Cord

Product Description

The PANDUIT UTP28X1MVL is a Cat 6A unshielded twisted pair (UTP) patch cord constructed with 28 AWG conductors. It is designed to support high-speed structured cabling installations where bandwidth and signal integrity are critical. This patch cord connects network equipment such as switches, patch panels, servers, and workstations within horizontal or equipment-room cabling runs. The slim 28 AWG profile reduces cable bulk in high-density environments, making it a practical choice for data centers and telecom rooms where airflow and cable management are ongoing concerns. Licensed electricians and low-voltage cabling technicians are the primary installers of this type of component.

This patch cord suits Cat 6A structured cabling systems in commercial and enterprise environments. It is appropriate for horizontal patch connections at the work area or within equipment racks and cabinets. The Cat 6A rating supports 10-Gigabit Ethernet applications up to 100 meters when used in compliant channel installations. Its compact form factor makes it well suited for dense patch panel fields where standard-diameter cords create congestion.

Key Features

• Cat 6A performance rating supports 10-Gigabit Ethernet applications
• 28 AWG conductor gauge reduces cable diameter for high-density installations
• UTP construction with no shielding requirement, simplifying termination and grounding
• Sold individually (each) for flexible quantity purchasing

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style patch cord for use in Cat 6A compliant structured cabling systems and compatible with standard RJ45 patch panels, keystone jacks, and network equipment ports.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage technician or qualified electrician in accordance with TIA-568 structured cabling standards and applicable local codes. Power down connected equipment before inserting or removing patch cords from active ports when practical. Avoid sharp bends below the minimum bend radius of the cable to prevent signal degradation. Do not exceed the rated channel length for the Cat 6A system in which this cord is deployed.
