It provides the high-frequency bandwidth and low insertion loss required for 10-Gigabit Ethernet and other demanding structured cabling applications. The slimmer 28 AWG conductor profile reduces bulk and weight compared to standard 23 AWG or 24 AWG patch cords, making it well suited for high-density patch panels and switch ports where airflow and cable management are critical concerns. Network technicians and low-voltage cabling contractors install this patch cord as a horizontal or cross-connect link in data centers, server rooms, and commercial network closets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis patch cord is designed for use in structured cabling systems that require Cat 6A performance per TIA-568 standards. Its slim form factor makes it particularly effective in high-density environments such as top-of-rack switch connections, patch panel fields, and equipment rooms where port density is high and cable congestion is a persistent challenge. It ships as a single unit and is ready to install out of the package with no field termination required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCategory 6A performance supports 10-Gigabit Ethernet at frequencies up to 500 MHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e28 AWG conductors reduce cable diameter and overall bundle weight in high-density installations\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUTP construction eliminates the need for grounding infrastructure required by shielded designs\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFactory-terminated connectors provide consistent insertion loss and return loss performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSold individually for flexible quantity ordering\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement and standard-use patch cord compatible with Cat 6A-rated patch panels, keystone jacks, and RJ45 ports in TIA-568-compliant structured cabling systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is typically performed by a licensed low-voltage cabling contractor or qualified network technician. Power down or place ports in an administratively disabled state before connecting to sensitive switching equipment where hot-swap procedures are not in place. Avoid sharp bend radii that exceed the cable minimum bend radius, as this can degrade high-frequency performance. Verify that all patch panel and switch ports are rated for Cat 6A before deploying in a 10-Gigabit application.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCategory Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cat 6A\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConductor Gauge\u003c\/strong\u003e: 28 AWG\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCable Construction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnit of Measure\u003c\/strong\u003e: Each (EA)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eQuantity per Unit\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: PANDUIT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: UTP28X38RD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PANDUIT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51558403703090,"sku":"UTP28X38RD","price":131.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/ddbfebaf7477033bb405612a2501e2fe_326b22d5-802f-4fbf-8dd9-9142fffedc91.jpg?v=1786411404","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/panduit-utp28x38rd-cat-6a-28-awg-utp-patch-cord","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
