Panduit UTP28X29GR Cat 6A 28 Awg Utp Patch Cord

Product Description

The PANDUIT UTP28X29GR is a Category 6A unshielded twisted pair (UTP) patch cord constructed with 28 AWG conductors. Patch cords of this type serve as the final connection link between structured cabling infrastructure and active network equipment such as switches, patch panels, and end devices. The 28 AWG construction delivers a slimmer, more flexible cable body compared to standard 23 AWG Cat 6A cables, reducing congestion in high-density environments. This cord is suited for data center technicians, low-voltage installers, and IT infrastructure professionals working within TIA-568 compliant structured wiring systems.

This patch cord is designed for use in horizontal and equipment room applications where Cat 6A performance is required. The reduced diameter makes it well suited for high-density patch panel installations, server rack cabling, and switch port connections where airflow and cable management are priorities. It is appropriate for both commercial and enterprise-grade network infrastructure deployments.

Key Features

• Category 6A performance supporting 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications
• 28 AWG conductor construction for increased flexibility and reduced cable diameter
• UTP design requires no grounding or bonding of the cable shield
• Suitable for high-density rack and patch panel environments
• Sold as a single unit (each)

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard patch cord for use with Cat 6A rated patch panels, keystone jacks, and RJ45 network ports in TIA-568 compliant structured cabling systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by low-voltage technicians or IT infrastructure personnel. Ensure all termination points meet Cat 6A channel requirements before deploying patch cords. Avoid sharp bends below the minimum bend radius to maintain signal integrity. Do not exceed the recommended tension or cinch cable ties tightly around 28 AWG cords, as the reduced jacket diameter is more susceptible to deformation.
