Panduit UTP28X60BU Cat 6A 28 Awg Utp Patch Cord

Product Description

The PANDUIT UTP28X60BU is a Cat 6A unshielded twisted pair (UTP) patch cord built with 28 AWG conductors. It is designed to support structured cabling installations that require high-speed data transmission up to the Cat 6A standard. This patch cord fits into data centers, commercial network closets, and industrial communication panels where reliable Ethernet connectivity is required. It is typically installed by low-voltage technicians, data cabling contractors, and network infrastructure professionals. The 28 AWG construction results in a slimmer, more flexible cable than standard 23 AWG patch cords, making it easier to route in high-density patching environments.

This patch cord is suited for horizontal patching applications in structured cabling systems that comply with TIA-568 Cat 6A performance requirements. Its lightweight, flexible form factor makes it a practical choice in high-density patch panels and switch ports where cable management and airflow are priorities. It is appropriate for both new installations and upgrades to existing Cat 6A infrastructure in commercial and enterprise environments.

Key Features

• Cat 6A rated for high-speed Ethernet data transmission
• 28 AWG conductor construction provides a slim, flexible cable body for high-density installations
• UTP design with no shielding required, simplifying termination and routing
• Factory-terminated patch cord reduces installation time compared to field-terminated assemblies
• Sold individually as a single unit for flexible ordering

Compatibility

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

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by low-voltage cabling technicians in accordance with TIA-568 structured cabling standards. Power down or disable active switch ports before connecting or disconnecting patch cords in live environments when required by site procedures. Avoid sharp bends below the minimum bend radius of the cable to maintain signal integrity. Inspect RJ45 connectors for damage before installation.
