Panduit UTP28X3BL Cat 6A 28AWG 3ft Patch Cord

Overview

The Panduit UTP28X3BL is a 3-foot Cat 6A UTP patch cord designed for high-speed network infrastructure. Its 28 AWG solid conductor gauge and 0.185-inch diameter CM/LSZH jacket simplify cable management in dense environments like data centers and enterprise networks. This cord supports 10GBASE-T Ethernet and is 100% performance tested to exceed ANSI/TIA-568.2-D and ISO 11801 Class EA standards up to 500 MHz, ensuring reliable data transmission for demanding applications.

Compatibility

This patch cord is engineered for compatibility with T568A and T568B wiring schemes. It supports IEEE 802.3af (PoE), 802.3at (PoE+), and 802.3bt (PoE++ up to 90W) applications, making it suitable for powering network devices such as IP cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP phones. The Cat 6A rating ensures it meets the requirements for data center I/O consolidation, server virtualization, backbone aggregation, and high-speed computing environments.

Installation Notes

The UTP28X3BL features a patented tangle-free latch that prevents snags and ensures a secure connection while simplifying removal. Pre-installed RapidID barcodes on the cable facilitate quick and accurate port mapping using compatible RapidID software, streamlining moves, adds, and changes (MACs) in network infrastructure. The solid conductor construction requires careful handling to avoid kinking.
