Panduit UTP28X39BL Cat 6A 28 Awg Utp Patch Cord

Product Description

The PANDUIT UTP28X39BL is a Cat 6A unshielded twisted pair (UTP) patch cord constructed with 28 AWG conductors. It provides high-speed structured cabling connectivity for data network installations in commercial and light industrial environments. The slimmer 28 AWG conductor profile reduces cable bundle diameter compared to standard 23 AWG patch cords, making it well suited for high-density patching applications in data centers, server rooms, and telecom closets. Network technicians and low-voltage cabling contractors install this patch cord to terminate horizontal or backbone runs at patch panels, switches, and network equipment.

This patch cord is designed for use in Cat 6A structured cabling systems that require 10 Gigabit Ethernet performance. Its slim form factor is particularly useful in high-density patch panel environments where airflow and cable management are critical. It is sold individually and is appropriate for both new installations and moves, adds, and changes in existing network infrastructures.

Key Features

• Cat 6A performance rating supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications
• 28 AWG conductor construction reduces cable bulk in high-density patching environments
• UTP (unshielded twisted pair) design simplifies termination and does not require grounding
• Sold individually, allowing precise quantity ordering for any job size

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard patch cord for use in Cat 6A UTP structured cabling systems with standard 8P8C (RJ45) terminations.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage cabling technicians typically install this patch cord following TIA-568 structured cabling standards. Power down or log off network equipment before disconnecting active patch cords to avoid unplanned network interruptions. Avoid sharp bends below the minimum bend radius of the cable to maintain signal integrity. No special tools are required beyond standard cable management practices.
