Panduit UTP28X6IN-48 Cat6a 28 Awg Patch Cord 6 in

Product Description

The PANDUIT UTP28X6IN-48 is a Category 6A performance patch cord built to 28 AWG specifications. It provides structured cabling connectivity in network installations where space-saving, flexible cable routing is a priority. At 6 inches in length, this cord is well suited for high-density patch panel environments where tight cable management is critical. Network technicians and low-voltage cabling contractors install this type of cord to make final connections between patch panels, switches, and network equipment in telecommunications rooms and data closets.

This patch cord is designed for use in horizontal cabling and equipment bay applications that require Category 6A performance. Its compact 6-inch length makes it a practical choice for rack-mounted patch panel installations where minimal slack and organized cable runs are required. It is sold as a single unit and fits into commercial and enterprise network infrastructure projects as well as structured cabling upgrades in residential settings.

Key Features

• Category 6A performance rating supports high-speed network applications
• 28 AWG conductor gauge allows for a slimmer, more flexible cable body compared to standard 23 AWG Cat6A cable
• 6-inch length optimized for short patch panel to switch connections in high-density racks
• Sold individually, allowing technicians to order exact quantities needed

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style patch cord for use with Category 6A compliant patch panels, keystone jacks, and network switches in structured cabling systems.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage cabling technicians and network installers typically handle Cat6A patch cord terminations. No special tools are required for plug-in installation, but ensure patch panel ports and switch ports are clean and undamaged before seating the cord. Follow TIA-568 standards for structured cabling practices. Avoid sharp bends or tight bundling that exceeds the cable minimum bend radius.
