Panduit UTP28SP10RD Patch Cord
Overview
The Panduit UTP28SP10RD is a 10-foot Cat 6 UTP patch cord designed for high-density network environments where cable diameter and flexibility are critical. Its 28 AWG stranded copper construction with a compact 0.150-inch (3.8mm) diameter simplifies routing in crowded racks and patch panels. The tangle-free latch mechanism ensures a secure connection and allows for easy release during moves, adds, or changes, streamlining network management tasks. This cable is suitable for 10GBASE-T Ethernet over limited distances and supports IEEE 802.3bt PoE applications, ensuring sufficient power delivery for connected devices.
Compatibility
This Cat 6 patch cord is engineered to exceed ANSI/TIA-568.2-D Category 6 and ISO 11801 Class E standards, ensuring performance for Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T) and 10GBASE-T up to 55 meters. It is compatible with T568A and T568B wiring schemes, making it suitable for a broad range of network infrastructure. The cable supports IEEE 802.3af (PoE), 802.3at (PoE+), and 802.3bt (PoE++) power applications, making it suitable for powering devices like IP phones, wireless access points, and surveillance cameras that draw significant power.
Installation Notes
The CM/LSZH (Communications Multipurpose/Low Smoke Zero Halogen) flammability rating makes this cable suitable for use in plenum spaces where required by building codes. The 28 AWG conductor gauge allows for a smaller cable diameter, which is beneficial for high-density installations. The RapidID pre-installed barcodes facilitate automated port mapping when used with compatible RapidID software, reducing manual tracking efforts and potential errors in large-scale deployments.
