Panduit UTP28X6INGR-48 Cat 6A 28 Awg Patch Cable

Product Description

The PANDUIT UTP28X6INGR-48 is a Category 6A unshielded twisted pair patch cable built to 28 AWG specifications. It provides high-performance copper connectivity for structured cabling systems operating at 10 Gigabit Ethernet speeds. The slim 28 AWG conductor profile reduces bulk in high-density patch panel installations compared to standard 23 AWG Cat 6A cables. Licensed electricians and low-voltage cabling technicians install this cable in data centers, telecom rooms, and enterprise network environments where port density and cable management are priorities.

This patch cable is suited for horizontal and equipment bay patching in both commercial and enterprise environments. Its Category 6A rating supports 10GBase-T applications up to 100 meters when used in a compliant channel. The cable is sold individually and is appropriate for use with Category 6A-rated jacks, keystone modules, and patch panels. It is well-suited for high-density switch cabinets and server rack deployments where standard-gauge cables add unnecessary bulk and airflow restriction.

Key Features

• Category 6A performance rating supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications
• 28 AWG conductor reduces cable diameter for high-density installations
• Unshielded twisted pair construction simplifies termination and grounding requirements
• Sold as a single unit for precise quantity ordering
• Slim profile improves airflow management in rack and cabinet environments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard patch cable for use in Category 6A compliant structured cabling channels including Category 6A patch panels, keystone jacks, and modular outlets.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage cabling technicians and licensed electricians install Category 6A patch cables in accordance with ANSI/TIA-568 structured cabling standards. Verify that all connected components, including patch panels and jacks, are rated for Category 6A to maintain channel performance. Avoid sharp bends below the cable minimum bend radius and do not over-cinch cable ties, as both can degrade signal performance. No special tools beyond standard patch cable management practices are required for installation.
