Panduit UTP28X10YL Cat 6A Patch Cord

Overview

The Panduit UTP28X10YL is a 10-foot Cat 6A UTP patch cord designed for high-performance network infrastructure. Its 28 AWG solid copper construction and compact 0.185-inch diameter simplify cable management in dense environments like data centers, supporting 10GBASE-T Ethernet and advanced PoE++ (802.3bt) applications. The integrated tangle-free latch ensures secure connections while streamlining moves, adds, and changes.

Compatibility

This patch cord is compatible with any network device requiring a Category 6A connection, supporting 10GBASE-T Ethernet up to 100 meters. It meets ANSI/TIA-568.2-D Category 6A and ISO 11801 Class EA standards. It also supports IEEE 802.3af/802.3at and 802.3bt type 3 and type 4 Power over Ethernet applications, making it suitable for powering high-demand devices like Wi-Fi 6 access points, PTZ cameras, and VoIP phones.

Installation Notes

Constructed with solid conductors, this patch cord is intended for fixed installations, not for use with patch panel ports or equipment jacks where repeated flexing is expected. The CM/LSZH (Communications Multipurpose/Low Smoke Zero Halogen) flammability rating is suitable for use in risers and air-handling spaces, complying with safety standards. The cable is wired to be compatible with both T568A and T568B wiring schemes.
