Panduit UTP28X25YL Cat 6A Patch Cord

Overview

The Panduit UTP28X25YL is a 25-foot, yellow 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 connections and easy release, streamlining moves, adds, and changes. This cord is ideal for deployments requiring 10GBASE-T Ethernet connectivity, server virtualization, and backbone aggregation, supporting IEEE 802.3bt PoE applications.

Compatibility

This patch cord is engineered to exceed ANSI/TIA-568.2-D Category 6A standards, ensuring compatibility with all 10GBASE-T Ethernet networks operating at frequencies up to 500 MHz. It supports IEEE 802.3af, 802.3at, and 802.3bt (Type 3 and Type 4) Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications, making it suitable for powering network devices like cameras, access points, and VoIP phones without requiring separate power supplies. It is wired to support both T568A and T568B configurations.

Installation Notes

Constructed with 28 AWG solid conductors, this cable offers a smaller bend radius compared to stranded alternatives, facilitating easier routing in conduits and crowded racks. The CM/LSZH (Communications Multipurpose/Low Smoke Zero Halogen) flammability rating makes it suitable for use in plenum spaces or environments where flame retardancy and low smoke emission are critical. The patented tangle-free latch design prevents accidental snags during installation and maintenance.
