Panduit UTP28X5BU Cat 6A 28 AWG 5 ft blue network ethernet cable

Panduit Cat 6A Patch Cord

The Panduit UTP28X5BU is a Category 6A UTP patch cord built with 28 AWG conductors and modular plugs on both ends. It provides a five-foot blue link for gigabit and multi-gigabit Ethernet in office or data-centre racks. The cable carries a CM/LSZH jacket rating for low-smoke, zero-halogen environments. Installers who need a thin, flexible run for high-density patching will find it suitable.

Verify Port Spacing And Jacket Rating

Confirm that the modular plugs fit the port density of your switch or panel; the slim 28 AWG profile eases routing but the plug width remains standard. Ensure the CM/LSZH rating satisfies local fire-code requirements for the installation space. Check that a five-foot reach covers the distance between your active gear and the patch panel without excess slack. No tool-less termination is required on this factory-terminated assembly.

Sustained Throughput In Dense Bundles

The 28 AWG construction meets Category 6A electrical specs, so alien crosstalk margins hold when cables are tightly bundled in cable managers. LSZH jacketing maintains its physical properties during long-term thermal cycling in warm aisles. Signal integrity remains stable across the full channel length under continuous multi-gigabit loads. The cord is not intended for outdoor or direct-burial use.
