Panduit UTP28X1GR 28AWG Cat 6A 1ft Patch Cord

Overview

The Panduit UTP28X1GR is a 1-foot Cat 6A UTP patch cord designed for high-speed networking applications. Its compact 28 AWG solid conductor construction simplifies cable management in dense environments like data centers, supporting 10GBASE-T Ethernet and up to 90W of PoE++ power delivery. The tangle-free latch mechanism streamlines moves, adds, and changes, while integrated RapidID barcodes facilitate efficient port mapping with compatible software.

Compatibility

This patch cord is engineered to exceed ANSI/TIA-568.2-D Category 6A and ISO 11801 Class EA standards, ensuring performance for frequencies up to 500 MHz. It is compatible with T568A and T568B wiring schemes, making it suitable for integration into existing network infrastructures. It supports IEEE 802.3af, 802.3at, and 802.3bt (Type 3 & 4) Power over Ethernet applications, delivering up to 90W to connected devices. Applications include 10GBASE-T Ethernet, data center I/O consolidation, server virtualization, backbone aggregation, and high-speed computing environments.

Installation Notes

Constructed with CM/LSZH (Communications Multipurpose/Low Smoke Zero Halogen) rated cable, this patch cord is suitable for installations requiring reduced flame spread and smoke emission. Each cable is 100% tested for wire map, Near End Crosstalk (NEXT), and return loss to guarantee performance. The patented tangle-free latch prevents snags and ensures a secure, yet easily releasable, connection.
