Purpose-built patch cable

The Panduit UTP28X5BL is a Category 6a U/UTP patch cord constructed with 28AWG conductors and RJ-45 male connectors on both ends. It measures five feet and carries a CM/LSZH jacket in black. The cable is designed for structured cabling runs that require Cat6a performance in a reduced diameter.

Ideal for dense patching; not for long runs

Network technicians terminating high-density panels or switch ports benefit from the slim 28AWG profile, which eases routing and improves airflow in crowded racks. Installers needing extended horizontal runs beyond the five-foot length should select a longer cable, and outdoor or direct-burial projects require a different jacket rating.

Cat6a rating at 28AWG decides fit

The combination of Category 6a performance with a 28AWG gauge is the single specification that determines whether this cord matches the bandwidth and space constraints of the intended link.

Questions about this item

Should I pick this 5 ft black Cat6a patch cord or a different length for my rack?

Choose the 5 ft length when the switch and device are within that distance; longer runs need a longer cable, shorter runs a shorter one.

What does the Cat6a rating actually deliver when I plug this cable into my switch?

The cable meets Category 6a performance specifications for 28 AWG U/UTP construction.

How do the RJ‑45 connectors limit the speed I can get in practice?

Each end uses an RJ‑45 male connector wired to the Category 6a pinout.
