Panduit UTP28X15GR 15ft Category 6A Patch Cord

Overview

The Panduit UTP28X15GR is a 15-foot Category 6A unshielded twisted pair (UTP) patch cord designed for high-speed Ethernet applications. Its compact 28 AWG solid conductor construction and 0.185-inch diameter simplify cable management in dense environments like data centers, supporting critical infrastructure for 10GBASE-T Ethernet, server virtualization, and high-performance computing. The integrated tangle-free latch ensures secure connections and easy release, streamlining moves, adds, and changes without accidental disconnections.

Compatibility

This patch cord is engineered to exceed ANSI/TIA-568.2-D Category 6A and ISO 11801 Class EA standards, ensuring interoperability with all Cat 6A network infrastructure. It supports IEEE 802.3af, 802.3at, and 802.3bt Type 3 and Type 4 Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications, providing sufficient power delivery for connected devices without compromising data integrity. It is compatible with both T568A and T568B wiring schemes.

Installation Notes

Constructed with CM/LSZH (Plenum/Low Smoke Zero Halogen) rated cable, this patch cord is suitable for installations requiring specific fire safety ratings. The solid conductor design offers robust performance but is less flexible than stranded cable, requiring careful routing to avoid sharp bends. The patented tangle-free latch on the modular plug aids in installation by preventing snagging during deployment and simplifying disconnection.
