Panduit UTP28X0.2MRD Cat 6A Patch Cord

Overview

The Panduit UTP28X0.2MRD is a 0.2-meter (0.7 ft) Cat 6A UTP patch cord in red, specifically designed for high-density data center environments. Its compact 28 AWG solid conductor construction simplifies cable management in racks and cabinets, while the tangle-free latch ensures easy connection and disconnection. This cord supports 10GBASE-T Ethernet and is rated for PoE++ (802.3bt) power delivery, making it suitable for powering network devices directly over the cable.

Compatibility

This UTP28X0.2MRD patch cord is engineered to exceed ANSI/TIA-568.2-D Category 6A standards, ensuring compatibility with all Category 6A network infrastructure. It supports IEEE 802.3af, 802.3at, and 802.3bt types 3 and 4 PoE applications, making it suitable for powering devices like IP cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP phones that draw higher power. It is wired to be compatible with both T568A and T568B wiring schemes.

Installation Notes

Constructed with CM/LSZH (Plenum/Low Smoke Zero Halogen) rated cable, this patch cord is suitable for use in plenum spaces when required by local codes. The 28 AWG conductor gauge allows for a smaller cable diameter (0.185-inch / 4.7mm), facilitating easier routing in high-density racks. The patented tangle-free latch design prevents snagging during installation and removal, streamlining moves, adds, and changes in critical data center deployments.
