Panduit UTP6AX28GY Category 6A 10 Gb/s UTP PC W/ EA

Overview

The Panduit UTP6AX28GY is a 28-foot Category 6A unshielded twisted pair (UTP) patch cord designed for high-speed data networks. Constructed with 24 AWG solid conductors and high-performance modular plugs, this cord supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet transmission up to 100 meters, while its solid foil tape construction effectively limits alien crosstalk. The tangle-free latch ensures secure connection and easy disconnection, streamlining network infrastructure management in data centers or enterprise environments.

Compatibility

This patch cord is engineered to exceed ANSI/TIA-568.2-D Category 6A and ISO 11801 Class EA standards, ensuring compatibility with all Category 6A network infrastructure. It is rated for 2500 cycles with IEEE 802.3af, 802.3at, and 802.3bt (Type 3 and Type 4) Power over Ethernet standards, making it suitable for powering network devices like IP cameras or wireless access points that draw significant power. It meets ANSI/TIA-1096-A requirements for network connectivity.

Installation Notes

The UTP6AX28GY features a CM flammability rating, suitable for use in riser pathways. Its 0.250-inch (6.4mm) diameter cable is flexible enough for installation in dense racks. The integrated tangle-free latch simplifies cable management and reduces the risk of accidental disconnections during moves, adds, or changes. Pre-installed barcodes facilitate port mapping with RapidID software, accelerating deployment and troubleshooting.
