Panduit UTP28X6.5MRD Cat 6A 28AWG Utp Patch Cord

Product Description

The PANDUIT UTP28X6.5MRD is a Category 6A unshielded twisted pair patch cord constructed with 28 AWG conductors. It is designed to support high-speed structured cabling installations in commercial and industrial network environments. The slim 28 AWG construction reduces cable bulk in high-density patch panel applications while maintaining full Cat 6A performance standards. Licensed electricians and low-voltage cabling technicians are the primary installers of this type of patch cord in data centers, telecommunications rooms, and enterprise LAN infrastructure.

This patch cord is suited for horizontal and equipment-room connections in structured cabling systems that require Cat 6A-rated performance. Its compact gauge makes it a practical choice for dense switch and patch panel environments where airflow and cable management are concerns. The 6.5-foot length accommodates typical equipment-rack and patch-panel-to-switch runs in standard rack installations.

Key Features

• 28 AWG conductors reduce cable diameter for high-density rack environments
• Category 6A rated for 10-Gigabit Ethernet and high-bandwidth applications
• Unshielded twisted pair construction for standard structured cabling installations
• 6.5-foot length suited to typical intra-rack and short equipment runs
• Sold individually as a single unit

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style patch cord for use with Cat 6A-rated patch panels, keystone jacks, and RJ45 switch ports in standard structured cabling systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed low-voltage technicians or electricians in accordance with ANSI/TIA-568 structured cabling standards. Verify that all connected ports and patch panels are rated for Cat 6A before installation. Avoid sharp bends or kinking, which can degrade signal performance. Do not exceed the minimum bend radius specified for 28 AWG UTP cabling.
