Panduit UTP28X5RD Cat 6A 28AWG 5ft Patch Cord
Overview
The Panduit UTP28X5RD is a 5-foot Category 6A unshielded twisted pair (U/UTP) patch cord designed for high-density data center environments. Its 28 AWG solid copper construction and compact 0.185-inch diameter facilitate easier cable management and airflow, particularly beneficial for server virtualization and backbone aggregation. The integrated tangle-free latch ensures secure connections and simplifies moves, adds, and changes (MACs) without snagging.
Compatibility
This patch cord supports 10GBASE-T Ethernet and operates at frequencies up to 500 MHz, exceeding ANSI/TIA-568.2-D Category 6A and ISO 11801 Class EA standards. It is compatible with both T568A and T568B wiring schemes. The UTP28X5RD is designed for IEEE 802.3af/at and 802.3bt Type 3 & Type 4 Power over Ethernet (PoE++) applications, delivering the necessary power for connected devices without requiring separate power supplies.
Installation Notes
The cable features a CM/LSZH (Plenum/Low Smoke Zero Halogen) flammability rating, suitable for installation in plenum spaces or where low-smoke and zero-halogen requirements apply. Each cord is 100% performance tested at the factory for wire map, Near End Crosstalk (NEXT), and Return Loss, ensuring reliable data transmission. The pre-installed RapidID barcodes simplify port mapping and network documentation when used with compatible scanning software.
