Panduit Cat6a 28AWG UTP Patch Cable

The Panduit UTP28X7YL is a Category 6a unshielded twisted-pair patch cord built with 28 AWG conductors. It terminates in RJ-45 male connectors on both ends and measures seven feet in length. The clear yellow jacket provides easy visual identification in dense patch panels or rack environments.

Suited for high-density patching and tight bends

Network administrators who need a thin, flexible Cat6a link for crowded cabinets will appreciate the reduced diameter. Installers requiring shielded cabling, longer runs, or bulk reel lengths should consider alternative cable types that meet those specific installation requirements.

28 AWG conductor gauge determines flexibility

The 28 AWG wire size makes this cable noticeably thinner and more pliable than standard 24 AWG Cat6a cords, easing routing in confined spaces. Verify that your network equipment and installation standards accept 28 AWG patch cords before deploying them in critical infrastructure links.

Questions about this item

Does the 28 AWG construction make the 7 ft Cat6a cable run hotter on a busy link?

The 28 AWG conductors are thinner than standard 24 AWG, so sustained high traffic will produce a little more heat, but the cable is rated for Cat6a performance at this length.

What ports must my existing gear have to use the RJ-45 male connectors on this patch cord?

Both ends are standard RJ-45 male plugs, so any switch, router, patch panel or NIC with a female RJ-45 jack will accept them directly.

Will this Cat6a cable negotiate full speed when I plug it into my older Cat5e switch and Cat6 wall jack?

Yes, the Cat6a cord is backward compatible and will operate at the highest speed the Cat5e switch and Cat6 cabling support.
