Panduit UTP28X47OR Cat 6A 28 Awg Utp Patch Cord

Product Description

The PANDUIT UTP28X47OR is a Category 6A unshielded twisted pair (UTP) patch cord constructed with 28 AWG conductors. Designed for structured cabling installations, this patch cord supports high-speed data transmission in network environments requiring Cat 6A performance. The 28 AWG construction results in a slimmer, more flexible cable compared to standard 23 AWG Cat 6A cords, making it well suited for dense patching environments where cable management and airflow are concerns. Network technicians and low-voltage installers use this cord to connect equipment at patch panels, switches, and end devices.

This patch cord is appropriate for use in enterprise, commercial, and data center horizontal or equipment cabling applications. The Cat 6A specification supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet at frequencies up to 500 MHz, making it a practical choice for high-density server rooms, network closets, and structured cabling systems that must meet TIA-568-C.2 or ISO/IEC 11801 standards. The orange jacket color aids in visual identification and color-coded patch field organization.

Key Features

• Category 6A performance supporting 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications
• 28 AWG conductor construction for increased flexibility and reduced bend radius
• UTP design requires no shielding termination, simplifying installation
• Orange jacket color supports color-coded cable management in patch fields
• Slim profile improves airflow and reduces congestion in high-density installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard patch cord for use with Cat 6A-rated patch panels, keystone jacks, and network switches in structured cabling systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by low-voltage technicians or network cabling professionals. Patch cords should be routed through dedicated cable managers to prevent excessive bending or strain on the RJ45 connectors. Ensure connected equipment ports are rated for Cat 6A to maintain full channel performance. Follow TIA-568 guidelines for patch cord length limits within the overall channel length budget.
