Note: These patch cords utilize 28 AWG conductors which do not meet the 22
to 26 AWG conductor size of patch cable referenced in ANSI/TIA-568-C.2,
resulting in an increased attenuation de-rating value of 1.9. Supports 96 meter
channels that include 90 meter permanent links.

key features and benefits
Smaller diameter, flexible
cable design
Tight bend radius enables improved cable routing and
management in high density applications. Smaller cable diameter
allows twice the amount of cables to be routed through cable
managers and pathways compared to traditional Category 5e
patch cable. Reduced cable diameter facilitates improved air flow,
cooling, resulting in lower operating costs than traditional 24
AWG patch cables
100% performance tested for wire
map, NEXT and return loss
Confidence that each patch cord delivers critical electrical
component level performance
Centered de-embedded plug performs in center of
ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 Category 5e component range, ensuring
interoperability and optimum performance
Integral pair manager
Optimizes performance and consistency by reducing untwist
at plug
Patented tangle-free latch
Prevents snags and provides easy release, saving time on
frequent moves, adds, and changes
Flexible stranded cable
U/UTP stranded 28 AWG copper cable with a nominal diameter of
0.150 in. (3.8mm) allows for high density installations and
superior panel cable management
Identification
Provides identification of performance level, length, and quality
control number for future traceability
Robust construction
Plug contact plated with 50 microinches of gold and rated to 2500
mating cycles
Variety of cable colors and lengths
Meets individual length and color-coding requirements for greater
system flexibility
RJ45 plug lock-in device (optional)
Secures plug into jack to prevent unauthorized removal of
patch cord

*For lengths 1 to 50 feet (increments of one
foot), and 55 to 150 feet (increments of five
feet), change the length designation in the part
number to the desired length.
**For lengths 0.5 to 10 meters (increments of
half meter), 11 to 20 meters (increments of
one meter), and 25 to 50 meters (increments
of five meters), change the length designation
in the part number to the desired length.
^For standard cable colors other than
Off White, add suffix BL (Black), BU (Blue),
RD (Red), YL (Yellow), GR (Green), OR
(Orange), GY (Gray), PK (Pink), or VL (Violet).
For example, the part number for a blue,
15 foot patch cord is UTP28CH5BU. The
part number for a blue, 5 meter patch cord
is UPT28CH5MBU.
