Panduit UTP28X38YL Cat 6A 28 Awg Utp Patch Cord

Product Description

The PANDUIT UTP28X38YL is a Cat 6A unshielded twisted pair (UTP) patch cord built with 28 AWG stranded conductors. It provides high-speed structured cabling connectivity for data network installations in commercial, industrial, and residential applications. The slim 28 AWG construction reduces cable bulk in high-density patching environments while meeting Cat 6A performance requirements. Network technicians and low-voltage cabling installers work with this cord to terminate equipment in patch panels, switches, routers, and other active network hardware. The yellow jacket provides visual identification in multi-port patching scenarios.

This patch cord is suited for horizontal and equipment-room cabling applications where Cat 6A performance is required. It is commonly deployed in data centers, server rooms, telecommunications closets, and enterprise LAN environments. The UTP design keeps connector footprint minimal, making it a practical choice for high-density rack installations where airflow and cable management are a concern.

Key Features

• Cat 6A performance rating supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications
• 28 AWG stranded conductors reduce diameter and improve bend radius in tight spaces
• UTP construction eliminates shielding hardware, simplifying termination and reducing weight
• Yellow jacket color aids visual identification and port tracing in dense patch environments
• Sold as a single unit for flexible quantity purchasing

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-fit patch cord for Cat 6A UTP keystone jacks, patch panels, and RJ45 ports meeting TIA-568 structured cabling standards.

Installation Notes

This patch cord is installed by low-voltage cabling technicians and network professionals. No tools are required for standard plug-to-jack insertion; follow TIA-568 and local codes for structured cabling installations. Avoid sharp bends beyond the minimum bend radius of the cable, and do not cinch cable ties too tightly, as either condition can degrade Cat 6A signal performance. Inspect RJ45 connectors for proper seating before testing the link.
