Panduit UTP28SP10OR Cat6 Cable

Overview

The Panduit UTP28SP10OR is a 10-foot, Category 6 unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable designed for reliable, high-performance data transmission. Featuring 28 AWG conductors and CM (Communications Multipurpose) fire rating, this orange cable is suitable for structured cabling deployments in data centers, telecommunications rooms, and enterprise networking environments where clean signal integrity and adherence to safety standards are paramount. The UTP28SP10OR ensures robust connectivity for your network infrastructure.

Compatibility

This cable is engineered to meet TIA-568-C.2 and ISO/IEC 11801 standards, ensuring interoperability with a wide range of networking equipment. It is compatible with any network device requiring Category 6 performance, including switches, routers, servers, and workstations from all major manufacturers. Its 1 Gbps data rate and 250 MHz bandwidth make it suitable for standard Gigabit Ethernet applications.

Installation Notes

The UTP28SP10OR is a CM-rated cable, meaning it is suitable for use in risers and general building spaces, but not plenum spaces which require higher fire resistance (e.g., CMP rating). Ensure proper cable management practices to maintain the integrity of the 28 AWG conductors and avoid kinks that could degrade performance. The unshielded design simplifies termination compared to shielded alternatives.
