Panduit 0.2M CAT6A 28AWG BLU SHLDPC - STP28X0.2MBU

Panduit STP28X0.2MBU Concise Descriptor

Overview

The Panduit STP28X0.2MBU is a 0.2-meter Category 6A shielded patch cable designed to maintain signal integrity in high-density network deployments. Its short length minimizes cable clutter in server racks and patch panel installations, while the shielding protects against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and alien crosstalk (AXT), crucial for maintaining reliable data transmission in environments with significant electrical noise or high port counts. This cable is engineered for 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) performance up to 100 meters, making it suitable for demanding data center and enterprise network backbones.

Compatibility

This cable is compatible with all standard RJ45 connectors and network devices supporting Category 6A performance standards, including 10GBASE-T Ethernet. It is designed for use with Panduit's comprehensive line of network infrastructure components, such as patch panels, keystone jacks, and equipment ports that meet TIA-568-C.2 specifications. It ensures backward compatibility with Category 6 and Category 5e systems, though performance will be limited to the lower category's specifications.

Installation Notes

For optimal performance and to ensure the integrity of the shielding, it is recommended to use Panduit's specialized termination tools and follow TIA-568-C.2 termination procedures. Ensure the cable's shield is properly grounded at both ends to effectively dissipate EMI. Avoid sharp bends exceeding a 4x cable diameter radius to prevent internal conductor damage and maintain signal quality. The 0.2-meter length is ideal for direct equipment-to-patch panel connections or inter-rack patching where minimal slack is required.
