Panduit UTP28X95GY Cat 6A 28 Awg Utp Patch Cord

Product Description

The PANDUIT UTP28X95GY is a Category 6A unshielded twisted pair patch cord constructed with 28 AWG conductors. Patch cords in this category carry high-speed data signals up to 10 Gbps across structured cabling systems, making them a standard component in commercial and enterprise network installations. The slim 28 AWG construction reduces cable bulk in high-density patching environments while maintaining full Cat 6A performance. Licensed data network technicians and low-voltage cabling installers are the primary trades that source and terminate this type of cord.

This patch cord is suited for use in structured cabling systems that require Cat 6A performance, including data centers, server rooms, telecommunications rooms, and office network deployments. The UTP design is appropriate for environments where alien crosstalk is managed through cable routing and spacing rather than individual shielding. It connects network equipment to patch panels or active devices at horizontal distribution points.

Key Features

• Category 6A performance supports 10 Gbps data transmission
• 28 AWG slim conductor profile reduces cable diameter for high-density patch panel applications
• Unshielded twisted pair construction simplifies termination and grounding requirements
• Single unit packaging allows precise inventory management per run or port

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-use patch cord for Cat 6A unshielded structured cabling systems and patch panels meeting TIA-568 Category 6A requirements.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage cabling technicians install Cat 6A patch cords as the final connection segment in a structured cabling channel. Power down or log off active ports before swapping patch cords in live equipment when possible to avoid link disruption. Do not exceed the minimum bend radius specified for Cat 6A cabling and avoid sharp bends or cinched cable ties that can degrade signal performance. Installations in commercial buildings should follow TIA-568 and applicable local codes for low-voltage cabling.
