Panduit UTP28X22GY Cat 6A 28 Awg Utp Patch Cord

Product Description

The PANDUIT UTP28X22GY is a Cat 6A 28 AWG unshielded twisted pair (UTP) patch cord designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and enterprise network environments. Built to Category 6A performance standards, this patch cord supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications at frequencies up to 500 MHz. The 28 AWG conductor gauge produces a slimmer, more flexible cable body compared to standard 23 AWG Cat 6A cabling, reducing congestion in high-density patch panels and equipment racks. Licensed electricians, low-voltage cabling technicians, and IT infrastructure professionals are the primary installers of this product.

This patch cord is suited for use in horizontal cabling connections, equipment room patch fields, and data center top-of-rack switching environments where cable management and airflow are priorities. The slim profile is particularly well-suited for high-density switch ports and patch panels where standard-diameter Cat 6A cords create bend-radius and airflow challenges. It is sold as a single unit and fits standard RJ45 keystone and panel infrastructure designed for Cat 6A terminations.

Key Features

• Category 6A performance supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet and 500 MHz bandwidth
• 28 AWG conductor gauge provides a slim, flexible form factor for high-density installations
• UTP construction requires no additional shielding infrastructure or grounding
• Sold individually, allowing targeted replacement or incremental additions to patch fields
• Designed for compatibility with standard RJ45 Cat 6A patch panels and switch ports

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-use patch cord for Cat 6A UTP structured cabling infrastructure using RJ45 interfaces.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by low-voltage cabling technicians or qualified electricians in accordance with ANSI/TIA-568 structured cabling standards. Power down or place ports in an administratively disabled state before disconnecting active links in sensitive network environments. Avoid sharp bend radii below the cable minimum bend radius to preserve signal integrity. Do not route alongside high-voltage conductors without appropriate separation per NEC guidelines.
