Panduit UTP6AX28OR Cat6a Utp Patch Cable 10gb/s

Product Description

The PANDUIT UTP6AX28OR is a Category 6A unshielded twisted pair (UTP) patch cable rated for 10 Gb/s data transmission. Designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and enterprise network environments, this patch cable delivers the bandwidth and performance headroom required by modern high-speed Ethernet applications. It is suitable for connecting network equipment such as switches, patch panels, servers, and wall outlets within a data distribution system. Licensed low-voltage technicians and network infrastructure installers are the typical trade professionals who deploy this cable during structured cabling buildouts or equipment upgrades.

Category 6A cabling supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GBASE-T) at frequencies up to 500 MHz, making it appropriate for high-density data center environments, server rooms, and commercial office horizontal cabling runs. This patch cable is sold as a single unit and is suited for short equipment connections at the patch panel or workstation outlet. The orange jacket color aids in visual identification and cable management within rack enclosures and wiring closets.

Key Features

• Category 6A rating supports 10 Gb/s Ethernet over structured cabling
• UTP construction with no shielding required, simplifying termination and routing
• Orange jacket color for easy visual identification in cable management
• Sold individually for flexible procurement in single-unit quantities

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard patch cable for use with Category 6A-rated patch panels, keystone jacks, and RJ45 network ports in structured cabling systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a low-voltage technician or network cabling installer in accordance with ANSI/TIA-568 structured cabling standards. Before servicing live network equipment, follow the facility lockout/tagout procedures and power down connected devices as required. Avoid sharp bends below the minimum bend radius and do not overtighten cable ties, as either can degrade signal performance in high-frequency Category 6A applications. Route cables away from power conductors to minimize electromagnetic interference.
