Panduit UTP28X23VL Cat 6A 28 Awg Utp Patch Cord

Product Description

The PANDUIT UTP28X23VL is a Cat 6A unshielded twisted pair (UTP) patch cord constructed with 28 AWG conductors. It is designed to support high-speed data transmission in structured cabling installations, delivering the bandwidth and performance specifications required by the TIA-568 Cat 6A standard. This patch cord is typically installed by low-voltage cabling technicians and network infrastructure professionals working in commercial, industrial, or data center environments. The slim 28 AWG profile reduces cable bulk in high-density patching environments, making cable management more practical in tight spaces.

This patch cord is suited for use in horizontal and equipment room patching applications where Cat 6A performance is required. It connects network equipment such as switches, patch panels, servers, and access points in structured cabling systems. The UTP construction keeps installation straightforward in environments where external interference is not a primary concern. It is a standard unit-of-measure single-piece item sold individually.

Key Features

• Cat 6A rated for high-speed data transmission up to 10 Gbps at 500 MHz
• 28 AWG conductors provide a slimmer, more flexible cable compared to standard 23 AWG patch cords
• UTP construction simplifies termination and reduces overall cable diameter
• Designed for use in high-density patching environments where cable management space is limited
• Sold as a single unit for flexible quantity procurement

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-fit patch cord for Cat 6A compliant structured cabling systems using RJ45 patching infrastructure.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by low-voltage cabling technicians following TIA-568 structured cabling standards. Power down or disconnect active equipment ports before patching where possible to avoid disruption to live network sessions. Avoid sharp bends or exceeding the minimum bend radius of the cable to maintain signal integrity. Route cables through appropriate cable managers to maintain an organized and serviceable installation.
