Panduit UTP28X7.5MVL Cat 6A Utp Patch Cord

Product Description

The PANDUIT UTP28X7.5MVL is a Cat 6A 28 AWG unshielded twisted pair (UTP) patch cord designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and residential network environments. This patch cord delivers high-frequency data transmission performance meeting Cat 6A channel and component standards. The 28 AWG conductor gauge keeps the cable flexible and manageable in dense patch panel environments while maintaining signal integrity. Licensed electricians and low-voltage cabling technicians are the primary installers of this type of patch cord in data centers, telecom rooms, and horizontal cabling applications.

This patch cord is suited for use in 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications, connecting network switches, patch panels, servers, and end devices. The slim 28 AWG design makes it especially practical in high-density rack environments where cable management and airflow are priorities. It is sold as an individual unit and is appropriate for both new installations and moves, adds, and changes in existing structured cabling systems.

Key Features

• Cat 6A performance rating supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet transmission
• 28 AWG conductor gauge provides increased flexibility for dense installations
• UTP construction eliminates the need for grounding infrastructure required by shielded cables
• Slim cable profile improves airflow and cable management in rack environments
• Sold individually, allowing precise quantity ordering per installation need

Compatibility

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

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage cabling technician or licensed electrician in accordance with ANSI/TIA-568 structured cabling standards. Power down or disconnect active network equipment before patching into live panels when possible to avoid data interruption. Avoid sharp bends or kinking the cable, as 28 AWG conductors are more susceptible to performance degradation from improper bend radius than standard 24 AWG patch cords. Route and dress cables using appropriate cable management hardware to maintain a clean, serviceable installation.
