Panduit UTP28X60GR Cat6A 28 AWG UTP Patch Cord

Overview

The Panduit UTP28X60GR is a 60-foot Cat6A 28 AWG unshielded twisted pair (UTP) patch cord designed for high-density network environments. Its compact 0.185-inch diameter simplifies cable management in data centers and other rack-intensive installations. This cord supports 10GBASE-T Ethernet and is rated for PoE++ (802.3bt), ensuring sufficient power delivery for demanding network devices without overheating the cable bundle. The CM/LSZH rating indicates compliance with flammability standards for use in riser and low-smoke zero-halogen applications.

Compatibility

This patch cord is designed for 10GBASE-T Ethernet deployments and is compatible with IEEE 802.3af (PoE), 802.3at (PoE+), and 802.3bt (PoE++) power sourcing equipment. It supports data center applications including I/O consolidation, server virtualization, backbone aggregation, and high-speed computing. The standard modular plugs ensure compatibility with virtually all Cat6A-rated network ports and equipment.

Installation Notes

The 28 AWG construction offers a smaller bend radius, aiding installation in crowded racks. The patented tangle-free latch prevents snags during moves, adds, and changes, streamlining network maintenance. Pre-installed RapidID barcodes facilitate quick port mapping with compatible software, reducing troubleshooting time. For PoE applications, up to 48 cables can be bundled for 802.3af/at, and up to 24 cables for 802.3bt types 3 and 4, to manage heat dissipation.
