Panduit UTP28X20MYL Cat 6A 28 Awg Utp Patch Cord

Product Description

The PANDUIT UTP28X20MYL is a Cat 6A unshielded twisted pair (UTP) patch cord constructed with 28 AWG conductors. It provides high-speed structured cabling connectivity for data network installations in commercial and industrial environments. The slim 28 AWG conductor gauge reduces cable bulk in high-density patching environments while maintaining Cat 6A performance standards, including support for 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications. Licensed network technicians and low-voltage installers use this patch cord to terminate equipment connections at patch panels, switches, and active network hardware.

This patch cord is suited for use in data centers, telecommunications rooms, and enterprise network installations where high-density cable management is a priority. The 28 AWG construction allows tighter bend radius and easier routing through crowded pathways compared to standard 23 AWG patch cords. It is applicable in both horizontal and equipment-side patching scenarios that require Cat 6A channel performance.

Key Features

• Cat 6A rated for 10 Gigabit Ethernet performance
• 28 AWG slim conductor design reduces bundle diameter in high-density installations
• UTP construction eliminates the need for grounding associated with shielded cabling
• Yellow jacket aids in visual cable identification and tracing at the patch panel
• Sold individually (1 per unit)

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard patch cord for Cat 6A UTP structured cabling systems in commercial and data center network environments.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by low-voltage technicians or network infrastructure specialists. Ensure patch panel ports and switch ports are rated Cat 6A before deploying in a 10GbE channel. Avoid sharp bend radii that exceed cable specifications, and do not cinch cable ties too tightly on 28 AWG cords as this can degrade signal performance. Adhere to TIA-568 standards for structured cabling installation practices.
