Panduit UTP28X10BL Patch Cord

Overview

The Panduit UTP28X10BL is a 10-foot, black Cat 6A UTP patch cord designed for high-speed data center applications. Its 28 AWG solid conductor construction and compact 0.185-inch diameter simplify cable management in dense environments. The integrated tangle-free latch ensures secure connection and easy release, streamlining moves, adds, and changes. This cord is 100% performance tested for wire map, NEXT, and return loss, exceeding TIA-568.2-D Category 6A and ISO 11801 Class EA standards up to 500 MHz.

Compatibility

This patch cord is engineered for 10GBASE-T Ethernet and supports data center I/O consolidation, server virtualization, backbone aggregation, and high-speed computing. It is wired to be compatible with both T568A and T568B wiring schemes. The cable construction supports IEEE 802.3af, 802.3at, and 802.3bt (Type 3 and Type 4) Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications, making it suitable for powering a wide range of network devices, including high-power surveillance cameras and access points.

Installation Notes

Constructed with a centered de-embedded plug and an integral pair manager, this cord offers enhanced performance. The patented tangle-free latch prevents snags during installation and maintenance. Pre-installed barcodes facilitate port mapping when used with RapidID software, accelerating deployment and troubleshooting. The CM/LSZH flammability rating ensures compliance with safety standards in plenum and non-plenum spaces.
