Panduit UTP28X2 Cat 6A Patch Cord

Overview

The Panduit UTP28X2 is a 2-foot Cat 6A UTP patch cord featuring a compact 28 AWG solid conductor construction with a CM/LSZH rated jacket. This cord is designed for high-density deployments and critical applications where cable management and performance are paramount. Its design simplifies installation and management in environments such as data centers, supporting 10GBASE-T Ethernet and high-speed computing applications. The pre-installed barcode for RapidID software streamlines port mapping and asset management.

Compatibility

This patch cord is engineered to exceed ANSI/TIA-568.2-D Category 6A and ISO 11801 Class EA standards up to 500 MHz. It is fully compatible with IEEE 802.3af (PoE), 802.3at (PoE+), and 802.3bt (PoE++ Type 3 and Type 4) applications, ensuring reliable power delivery to network devices. The cord uses standard modular plugs wired for T568A and T568B schemes, making it universally compatible with standard RJ45 network ports and equipment.

Installation Notes

The patented tangle-free latch design prevents snagging and ensures a secure connection that is easy to release, streamlining moves, adds, and changes. The 0.185-inch (4.7mm) diameter cable simplifies routing in high-density patch panel installations. The integrated pair manager aids in maintaining cable geometry for optimal performance.
