Panduit UTP28SP100BU Cat6 UTP 100ft CM LSZH Cable - Blue

Overview

The Panduit UTP28SP100BU is a 100-foot Category 6 unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable designed for reliable, high-performance data transmission. Its 28 AWG construction and CM LSZH (Communications Multipurpose Low Smoke Zero Halogen) rating make it suitable for installation in commercial building spaces where fire safety and reduced smoke emission are critical. This cable provides a robust connection for networking equipment in data centers, telecommunications rooms, and enterprise environments.

Compatibility

This cable is engineered to meet TIA-568-C.2 and ISO/IEC 11801 standards, ensuring broad compatibility with standard RJ45 connectors and networking hardware. It supports 1 Gbps data rates at up to 250 MHz bandwidth, making it suitable for Gigabit Ethernet networks and other high-speed data applications. It is compatible with any networking device requiring Category 6 performance, including switches, routers, and network interface cards.

Installation Notes

The 28 AWG construction offers flexibility for easier routing in conduit and tight spaces compared to bulkier 24 AWG cables. The CM LSZH jacket material is specified for use in non-plenum building spaces, offering a balance of performance and safety. Ensure proper termination techniques are used with compatible RJ45 connectors to achieve optimal performance and maintain signal integrity.
