The Panduit UTP28X1YL is a 1-foot Category 6A (CAT6A) unshielded twisted pair (UTP) patch cord. This cable is designed for connecting network devices in environments requiring high-speed data transmission up to 10 Gigabit Ethernet. Its 28 AWG construction allows for a smaller diameter compared to standard 24 AWG patch cords, which can be beneficial in high-density patching applications where space is at a premium and airflow management is critical. This product is suitable for IT professionals and network administrators managing server rooms, data centers, or wiring closets who need reliable, short-distance network connectivity for switches, servers, and other network hardware. It addresses the need for compact cabling solutions without compromising CAT6A performance standards.
This 1-foot CAT6A patch cord is primarily used for short-distance connections between network devices such as switches, servers, and patch panels within racks or cabinets. It is suitable for high-density environments where minimizing cable length and managing space are important.
28AWG refers to the cable's American Wire Gauge. A higher AWG number indicates a thinner conductor. This 28AWG cable is thinner than standard 24AWG patch cords, which can help reduce cable bulk in crowded network installations.
This cable is an Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) patch cord. UTP cables are common in many office and data center environments where electromagnetic interference is not a significant concern requiring shielded cabling.
This is a Category 6A (CAT6A) Ethernet cable. CAT6A cables are designed to support 10 Gigabit Ethernet over longer distances than CAT6, making them suitable for high-speed network applications.
