Panduit UTP28X8INYL 8" Cat 6A Patch Cord

Overview

The Panduit UTP28X8INYL is an 8-inch, 28 AWG Category 6A UTP patch cord in yellow. Its compact diameter and solid conductor construction are designed for high-density data center environments, simplifying cable management and supporting 10GBASE-T Ethernet speeds. The integral pair manager and tangle-free latch streamline installations and maintenance, making it suitable for moves, adds, and changes.

Compatibility

This patch cord is engineered to exceed ANSI/TIA-568.2-D Category 6A standards up to 500 MHz, ensuring compatibility with 10GBASE-T Ethernet. It supports IEEE 802.3af, 802.3at, and 802.3bt (Type 3 and Type 4) Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications, drawing power from compatible network switches without requiring separate power supplies. It is wired for both T568A and T568B configurations.

Installation Notes

Constructed with CM/LSZH rated cable, this patch cord is suitable for use in plenum spaces where required by local codes. The 28 AWG solid conductor gauge offers a smaller bend radius compared to thicker cables, aiding in high-density deployments. The patented tangle-free latch design prevents snagging during installation and removal, simplifying moves, adds, and changes.
