Panduit UTP28X30YL Cat 6A 28 Awg Utp Patch Cord

Product Description

The PANDUIT UTP28X30YL 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 Cat 6A performance standards, this patch cord supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications and is suited for use in data centers, telecommunications rooms, and horizontal cabling runs. The 28 AWG conductor gauge makes this cord more flexible and easier to route in high-density patching environments compared to standard 23 AWG alternatives. It is installed by network technicians, low-voltage cabling contractors, and IT infrastructure professionals.

This patch cord is appropriate for use in structured cabling systems that require Cat 6A channel performance. Its slim-profile construction is well suited for dense patch panel fields where cable management and airflow are concerns. The yellow jacket color aids in visual cable identification and organization within active equipment racks and patch bays.

Key Features

• Cat 6A performance rating supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet transmission
• 28 AWG conductor gauge provides increased flexibility for tight routing and high-density installations
• UTP construction requires no shielded termination hardware or grounding
• Yellow jacket provides easy visual identification in multi-cable environments
• Sold as a single unit (EA)

Compatibility

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

Installation Notes

This patch cord is installed by low-voltage cabling technicians and IT infrastructure personnel. No crimping or termination is required at the job site. Ensure the connected equipment ports are rated for Cat 6A to maintain channel performance. Follow ANSI/TIA-568 guidelines for patch cord length limits within the overall channel.
