Panduit STP28X2MBU 2M Blue Cat6A Shielded Patch Cable

Overview

The Panduit STP28X2MBU is a 2-meter Category 6A shielded patch cable designed to ensure reliable, high-speed data transmission in demanding network environments. Its 28AWG construction and shielding mitigate electromagnetic interference (EMI) and crosstalk, critical for maintaining signal integrity in surveillance systems, data centers, and enterprise networks where data loss or corruption is unacceptable. This blue cable is suitable for structured cabling deployments where color-coding aids in identification and management.

Compatibility

This STP28X2MBU cable is designed to terminate into standard RJ45 connectors and is compatible with all networking equipment supporting Category 6A standards, including switches, routers, servers, and network cameras from manufacturers like Axis Communications, Hanwha Vision, Hikvision, and Dahua Technology. It supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GBASE-T) up to 100 meters, making it suitable for high-bandwidth applications such as 4K video streaming and large data transfers.

Installation Notes

Ensure termination points (patch panels, wall plates, device ports) are also rated for Category 6A and are properly grounded to leverage the cable's shielding. Avoid sharp bends exceeding a 4x cable diameter radius to prevent internal conductor damage and maintain performance specifications. The cable jacket material is PVC, suitable for in-wall or general-purpose horizontal cabling runs.
