Description

The PANDUIT STP28X2.5MIG is a Cat 6A shielded patch cable built for structured cabling installations that require high-speed data transmission with reduced electromagnetic interference. Constructed with 28 AWG conductors, this cable delivers the bandwidth and shielding performance required by modern 10-Gigabit Ethernet applications. The slim 28 AWG gauge allows for improved airflow and cable management density in crowded patch panels and server racks. Licensed electricians, low-voltage technicians, and network infrastructure installers are the primary trades that specify and terminate this type of cable in both new construction and retrofit projects.

This patch cable is suited for horizontal and equipment-bay runs in commercial and enterprise network environments where shielded cabling infrastructure is required. The 2.5-meter length fits typical patch panel to switch connections in standard equipment racks. It is appropriate for data centers, server rooms, telecommunications closets, and commercial office structured cabling systems that follow TIA-568 or ISO 11801 shielded cabling architectures.

Key Features

28 AWG slim conductor profile improves airflow and bend radius in high-density installations
Shielded construction reduces crosstalk and electromagnetic interference in demanding environments
2.5-meter length designed for equipment-bay and patch panel to active equipment connections
Sold as a single cable unit for flexible quantity ordering

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or field-supply patch cable for Cat 6A shielded structured cabling systems. Termination type and connector details were not specified in the available product data; verify connector style against the destination port before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed low-voltage technicians or network cabling professionals. Shielded patch cables require a properly grounded shielded infrastructure including shielded patch panels and properly bonded cable management to achieve full shielding effectiveness. Verify that both ends of the shielded channel share a common ground reference to avoid ground loop interference. Inspect connectors for bent or damaged pins before seating the cable.
