Panduit UTP28X3GY-Q Cat6a Patch Cord 28 Awg

Product Description

The PANDUIT UTP28X3GY-Q is a Category 6A performance patch cord constructed with 28 AWG conductors. Designed for high-density structured cabling environments, this UTP patch cord delivers reliable data transmission at Cat6A performance levels, supporting 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications. Its slim 28 AWG construction reduces cable bulk in congested patch panels and switch ports, improving airflow and cable management in data racks and telecommunications rooms. Licensed electricians and low-voltage cabling technicians are the typical installers for this type of structured cabling component.

This patch cord is suited for use in commercial and enterprise network installations where Cat6A performance is required. It is appropriate for data centers, server rooms, and structured cabling systems that support high-bandwidth applications. The 28 AWG slim profile makes it particularly well-suited for high-density patch panel installations where standard-gauge cords create cable management challenges. It ships as a single unit per the supplier unit of measure.

Key Features

• Category 6A performance supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications
• 28 AWG slim conductor construction reduces bulk in high-density environments
• UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) design for standard structured cabling deployments
• Sold as individual units for flexible quantity ordering

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-fit component for Category 6A structured cabling systems using standard RJ45 patch panel ports and network switch interfaces.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed low-voltage technicians or electricians following TIA-568 structured cabling standards. Ensure patch panel ports and switch interfaces are free of debris before seating connectors. Avoid sharp bends or kinking along the cable run, as excessive bend radius can degrade signal performance at Cat6A frequencies. Do not exceed the cable's minimum bend radius during routing and dressing.
