Panduit’s 28 AWG patch cords have attenuation de-rating value of 1.9. Supports 96 meter channels that include 90 meter permanent links. Supports 93 meter channels with 10 meters of patch cords included in the channel. Exceeds all ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 Category 6A and ISO 11801 Class EA Edition 2.1 electrical performance requirements for frequencies up to 500 MHz. The tight bend radius enables improved cable routing and management in high density applications. Smaller cable diameter allows twice the amount of cords to be routed through cable managers and pathways compared to traditional Category 6A patch cords. Reduced cable diameter facilitates improved air flow, cooling, resulting in lower operating costs than traditional Category 6A patch cords.
