Panduit UTP28X3MGR Cat 6A 28 Awg Utp Patch Cord

Product Description

The PANDUIT UTP28X3MGR is a Cat 6A unshielded twisted pair (UTP) patch cord constructed with 28 AWG conductors. It provides reliable high-speed network connectivity for structured cabling installations in commercial and industrial environments. Cat 6A performance supports data transmission up to 10 Gbps and bandwidth up to 500 MHz, making it suitable for demanding network infrastructure applications. The slim 28 AWG construction reduces cable bulk and improves airflow in high-density patching environments. Network installers and low-voltage technicians use this cord to connect patch panels, switches, servers, and other active equipment.

This patch cord is designed for use in horizontal and equipment-room cabling applications where Cat 6A performance is required. It is well suited for data centers, server rooms, telecommunications rooms, and enterprise network installations. The UTP design makes it appropriate for environments where external interference is managed at the infrastructure level rather than through individual cable shielding.

Key Features

• Cat 6A rated for 10 Gbps data transmission and 500 MHz bandwidth support
• 28 AWG slim conductor construction reduces bulk in high-density patch environments
• UTP design simplifies termination and installation compared to shielded variants
• Sold individually as a single unit for flexible quantity procurement

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-fit patch cord for Cat 6A compliant structured cabling systems using RJ45 termination points.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by low-voltage network technicians or licensed electricians working under applicable codes such as TIA-568 and local NEC guidelines. No tools are required for plug-in connections; ensure patch panel and equipment ports are powered down or in a safe state before making changes in live environments. Avoid sharp bends below the minimum bend radius of the cable to maintain signal integrity. Do not bundle or zip-tie patch cords so tightly that conductor pairs are deformed.
