Panduit UTP28X6BU Patch Cord

Overview

The Panduit UTP28X6BU is a 6-foot Cat 6A UTP patch cord designed for high-speed data center applications, including 10GBASE-T Ethernet, server virtualization, and backbone aggregation. Its compact 28 AWG solid conductor construction simplifies cable management in dense environments. This cord is rated CM/LSZH for flammability and supports IEEE 802.3bt PoE++ applications, ensuring reliable power delivery for connected devices.

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 compatible with T568A and T568B wiring schemes and supports IEEE 802.3af, 802.3at, and 802.3bt (Type 3 and Type 4) Power over Ethernet (PoE) standards. The integrated RapidID barcode simplifies port mapping with compatible software.

Installation Notes

Constructed with 28 AWG solid conductors, this cord offers a smaller diameter (0.185 inches / 4.7mm) compared to standard Cat 6A cables, facilitating easier routing and management in high-density racks. The patented tangle-free latch design prevents snagging during installation and removal, streamlining moves, adds, and changes. It features high-performance modular plugs with a centered de-embedded design and integral pair manager.
