Panduit UTP28X6BU-Q Cat 6A Patch Cord 28 Awg

Product Description

The PANDUIT UTP28X6BU-Q is a Category 6A performance patch cord built with 28 AWG conductors. This slim, flexible patch cable is engineered for structured cabling environments where cable management and port density are priorities. The 28 AWG construction reduces bulk compared to standard 23 AWG patch cords, making it well suited for high-density patch panels and switch ports. It supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications in compliance with Category 6A performance standards. Network installers and low-voltage technicians rely on this cord to maintain clean, organized cable runs in data centers, server rooms, and telecom closets.

This patch cord is intended for use in commercial and enterprise network infrastructure where Category 6A cabling is specified. Its slim diameter is especially practical in high-density environments where airflow management and rack organization are critical concerns. The blue jacket color aids in visual identification of cable runs during installation and maintenance. It ships in a quantity of one and is sold by the each.

Key Features

• Category 6A performance rating supporting 10 Gigabit Ethernet
• 28 AWG conductor construction for reduced cable diameter and improved flexibility
• Slim profile improves airflow and manageability in high-density patch environments
• Blue jacket for visual cable identification and organization
• UTP (unshielded twisted pair) design for standard structured cabling applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-use patch cord for Category 6A compliant patch panels, keystone jacks, and RJ45 ports in structured cabling systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by low-voltage technicians or network cabling professionals. Ensure patch panel and switch ports are Category 6A rated to maintain full channel performance. Avoid sharp bends below the minimum bend radius to prevent signal degradation. No special tools are required beyond standard cable management practices.
