Panduit UTP28X2MBU Cat 6A 28 Awg Utp Patch Cord

Product Description

The PANDUIT UTP28X2MBU is a Category 6A unshielded twisted pair (UTP) patch cord constructed with 28 AWG conductors. It is designed for structured cabling installations where high-speed data transmission and reliable connectivity are required. This patch cord supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications and is suited for use in horizontal cabling, equipment rooms, and data center environments. Network technicians and low-voltage installers typically deploy this cord to connect active equipment to patch panels or wall jacks in Cat 6A-rated channel installations.

This patch cord is appropriate for both commercial and enterprise network installations. Its 28 AWG slim construction reduces bundle diameter and improves airflow management in high-density rack and cabinet environments. It is commonly installed in data centers, server rooms, telecommunications closets, and office network infrastructure wherever a Cat 6A-compliant connection is needed between switches, routers, servers, patch panels, or end devices.

Key Features

• Category 6A rated to support 10GBase-T at frequencies up to 500 MHz
• 28 AWG conductors provide a slimmer, more flexible cable body compared to standard 23 AWG patch cords
• UTP construction requires no grounding and simplifies termination
• Sold as a single unit for flexible quantity procurement

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-fit patch cord for use in Cat 6A-rated structured cabling channels and systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed low-voltage technician or network cabling professional. Verify that the full channel, including jacks and patch panels, is rated for Cat 6A before deploying this patch cord. Avoid sharp bends exceeding the minimum bend radius, and do not cinch cable ties so tightly that the jacket deforms. No special tools are required beyond standard cable management hardware.
