Panduit UTP28X6.5MYL Cat 6A 28 Awg Utp Patch Cord

Product Description

The PANDUIT UTP28X6.5MYL is a Cat 6A 28 AWG unshielded twisted pair (UTP) patch cord designed for high-density structured cabling installations. Built to TIA-568-C.2 Category 6A performance standards, this slim-profile patch cord supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet at frequencies up to 500 MHz. The reduced 28 AWG conductor gauge makes it well suited for high-density patch panels and switch ports where cable management and airflow are critical considerations. Network technicians and low-voltage contractors rely on this cord for clean, reliable terminations in both new installations and retrofit environments.

This patch cord is used in commercial and enterprise network infrastructure, data centers, server rooms, and telecommunications closets. The yellow jacket color supports color-coded cable management schemes common in structured cabling systems. At 6.5 feet in length, it is a practical reach for inter-rack and patch panel to switch connections. Low-voltage cabling contractors and IT infrastructure technicians are the primary installers of this product.

Key Features

• Cat 6A performance supporting 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications
• 28 AWG slim-profile conductors reduce cable bulk in high-density installations
• Unshielded twisted pair (UTP) construction for standard structured cabling environments
• Yellow jacket for color-coded cable management identification
• 6.5-foot length suits typical patch panel to switch runs

Compatibility

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

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by low-voltage cabling technicians following TIA-568 structured cabling standards. Inspect RJ45 connectors and port contacts before seating the patch cord. Avoid sharp bends below the minimum bend radius to maintain signal integrity. Route cables through proper cable management hardware to maintain airflow and physical organization in the rack.
