Panduit UTP28X1BL Cat 6A 1ft Patch Cord

Overview

The Panduit UTP28X1BL is a 1-foot Cat 6A unshielded twisted pair (U/UTP) patch cord designed for high-speed networking applications. Its compact 28 AWG solid copper construction and CM/LSZH jacket simplify installation in dense environments like data centers, supporting 10GBASE-T Ethernet up to 500 MHz. The integrated tangle-free latch ensures easy handling and secure connections during moves, adds, and changes, while the pre-installed RapidID barcode aids in efficient network management.

Compatibility

This patch cord is engineered to exceed ANSI/TIA-568.2-D Category 6A and ISO 11801 Class EA standards, making it compatible with any network device requiring Cat 6A connectivity. It supports T568A and T568B wiring schemes, ensuring interoperability with standard network infrastructure. The UTP28X1BL is also rated for IEEE 802.3af, 802.3at, and 802.3bt (Type 3 & Type 4) Power over Ethernet (PoE++), delivering up to 100W of power per port without compromising data integrity, suitable for powering IP cameras, wireless access points, and other PoE-enabled devices.

Installation Notes

The 28 AWG solid copper construction offers reduced bend radius compared to larger gauge cables, facilitating easier routing in crowded patch panel and equipment racks. The patented tangle-free latch on the RJ45 connectors prevents snagging during installation and removal, streamlining network maintenance. For network visibility, the cord features a pre-installed RapidID barcode, allowing for quick identification and mapping when used with compatible Panduit RapidID software and scanners.
