Panduit UTP28X75GY Cat 6A 28 Awg Utp Patch Cord

Product Description

The PANDUIT UTP28X75GY is a Cat 6A 28 AWG unshielded twisted pair (UTP) patch cord designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and industrial network environments. Built to Category 6A performance standards, this patch cord supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications up to 100 meters and delivers reliable signal integrity across high-density patch panel deployments. The 28 AWG slim conductor profile reduces cable bulk compared to standard 23 AWG patch cords, making it well suited for congested cable management runs. Licensed electricians, low-voltage cabling technicians, and network infrastructure installers are the typical trades working with this product.

This patch cord is used in horizontal and equipment-room cabling segments where Cat 6A channel performance is required. Its slim form factor makes it a practical choice for high-density switch and patch panel connections in server rooms, telecommunications rooms, and structured wiring closets. The gray jacket color aids in color-coded cable management schemes. It is sold as a single unit and is appropriate for both new construction and retrofit cabling projects.

Key Features

• Cat 6A performance rating supports 10GBase-T applications at full channel length
• 28 AWG slim conductor reduces cable diameter for improved airflow and easier routing in dense installations
• UTP construction eliminates the need for bonding or grounding associated with shielded cables
• Gray jacket supports color-coded patch field organization
• Factory-terminated ends provide consistent, tested termination quality

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style patch cord for use with Cat 6A-rated patch panels, keystone jacks, and RJ45 switch ports in structured cabling systems compliant with TIA-568 and ISO 11801 standards.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by low-voltage cabling technicians or licensed electricians following TIA-568 structured cabling standards. Avoid sharp bends below the minimum bend radius of the cable, as this can degrade signal performance. Do not overtighten cable management hardware against the jacket. Verify end-to-end channel performance with a certified cable tester after installation in critical network segments.
