Panduit Cat6A 28AWG patch cord

This 4 ft unshielded twisted-pair cable uses 28 AWG solid copper conductors in a 0.185 in diameter jacket. It terminates in RJ45 connectors wired for both T568A and T568B schemes. The cord supports IEEE 802.3af, 802.3at and 802.3bt type 3 and type 4 PoE applications. It is built to exceed ANSI/TIA-568.2-D Category 6A and ISO 11801 Class EA performance up to 500 MHz.

Easy-install thin cable with snag-free latch

The reduced 28 AWG diameter makes the cable flexible and simple to route through tight cable managers or around corners. A patented tangle-free latch prevents the connector tabs from catching on adjacent cables during moves, adds or changes. No shielding means the cord is lighter, but it also offers no protection against external electromagnetic interference in noisy environments.

Check port spacing and PoE budget before ordering

Verify that your switch or patch-panel ports have enough side clearance for the connector boot and latch release mechanism. Confirm the connected equipment supports the PoE standard your devices require, as the cable itself does not negotiate power levels. The CM/LSZH jacket rating suits general indoor use; plenum-rated pathways will require a different cable type. Buyers needing shielded links for high-EMI areas or longer runs beyond 4 ft should select an alternative product.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the Cat6A cable is performing to its 500 MHz rating after I plug it in?

Use a qualified cable certifier that tests to 500 MHz; a passing result shows the link meets the ANSI/TIA-568.2-D Category 6A and ISO 11801 Class EA requirements listed for this cord.

What comes with the UTP28X4BU and is anything else needed to connect two RJ45 ports?

The package contains the 4 ft blue patch cord with RJ45 plugs on both ends; no additional connectors or adapters are required for a standard RJ45-to-RJ45 link.

Should I choose the 4 ft blue version or a different length and colour for a high-density rack?

The 4 ft length and 4.7 mm diameter keep slack minimal in tight cabinets; select another length only if the 4 ft reach falls short of your port spacing.
