Panduit UTP28X1 Tx6A-28 Category 6A Performance - Patch Cable - Rj-45 (M) To Rj-45 (M) - 1 Ft - Utp - Cat 6A - Ieee 802.3Af/Ieee 802.3At - Booted, Halogen-Free, Snagless, Solid - Off White

The Panduit UTP28X1 is a 1-foot Cat 6A UTP Ethernet patch cable with male RJ-45 connectors at both ends, suited to short network connections between nearby devices or network equipment.

Recommended For

• Network and data-center technicians connecting nearby patch-panel, switch, or rack equipment who want a short cable that helps reduce excess slack.
• IT teams working in crowded telecom rooms or high-density racks who want thinner 28 AWG patch cords to ease cable routing and reduce pathway congestion.
• Installers making short Cat 6A links for compatible 10GBASE-T or PoE equipment when a one-foot reach is sufficient.
• Network administrators adding or changing nearby connections who value a patch cord designed for frequent moves, adds, and changes.

Real-World Use Scenarios

• In a network rack, use the 1-foot cord to connect an adjacent patch-panel port to a switch port; it provides a short, tidy link between the building cabling and the switch.
• In a crowded telecom room or data-center rack, use it for short equipment connections where thinner patch cords can make routing and cable management easier and leave more open space around the bundle.
• For a short link between nearby network switches, use it to carry Ethernet traffic over a Cat 6A patch connection; the resulting link speed depends on the switches and the rest of the cabling channel.
• When patching a PoE switch through a rack’s patch panel to a connected device, this cord can form part of the data-and-power path for supported PoE standards; the switch, permanent cabling, and device must also support the required PoE level.
• During rack moves or port changes, use the short, flexible cord to reroute a nearby connection; its molded, snag-resistant plugs help reduce accidental tab catches while handling it.
