Panduit UTP28X3YL 3 ft Cat 6A 28 AWG Patch Cord Yellow

Overview

The Panduit UTP28X3YL is a 3-foot Cat 6A UTP patch cord designed for high-performance network connections in demanding environments. Its 28 AWG solid copper construction offers superior flexibility and simplified cable management compared to larger gauge cables, making it ideal for data center I/O consolidation, server virtualization, and high-speed computing applications. The integrated tangle-free latch ensures secure connection and easy release, streamlining moves, adds, and changes without snagging. Pre-installed RapidID barcodes facilitate quick asset tracking and port mapping with compatible software.

Compatibility

This patch cord is built to exceed ANSI/TIA-568.2-D Category 6A and ISO 11801 Class EA standards, ensuring reliable performance for 10GBASE-T Ethernet up to 500 MHz. It is compatible with T568A and T568B wiring schemes and supports IEEE 802.3af, 802.3at, and the latest 802.3bt Type 3/4 PoE applications, delivering up to 100W for powered devices. It is suitable for use in networks requiring high bandwidth and low latency, including those utilizing network switches and routers that support these standards.

Installation Notes

Constructed with a CM/LSZH (Communications Multipurpose/Low Smoke Zero Halogen) rated jacket, this cable is suitable for use in plenum or riser spaces where fire safety regulations apply. The 28 AWG gauge provides a smaller bend radius, aiding installation in high-density environments. Each cord is 100% factory tested for wire map, Near-End Crosstalk (NEXT), and Return Loss to guarantee performance out of the box.
