Panduit UTP28SP20GR 28 AWG Cat 6 Patch Cord

Overview

The Panduit UTP28SP20GR is a 20-foot, green, Cat 6 unshielded twisted pair (U/UTP) patch cord. Constructed with 28 AWG stranded copper conductors and a CM/LSZH jacket, this cable is designed for high-density network environments where space is constrained. Its slim profile and tangle-free latch simplify installation, moves, adds, and changes (MACs) in data centers and telecommunications rooms. The integrated RapidID barcoding facilitates quick and accurate network documentation and troubleshooting.

Compatibility

This patch cord supports 10BASE-T, 100BASE-T, 1000BASE-T, and 10GBASE-T Ethernet up to 100 meters (as specified by industry standards). It is backward compatible with ATM and Token Ring applications. The cable meets ANSI/TIA-568.2-D Category 6 and ISO 11801 Class E standards, ensuring performance up to 250 MHz. It is also compatible with IEEE 802.3af, 802.3at, and 802.3bt Type 3 and Type 4 Power over Ethernet (PoE++) applications, delivering up to 100W without degradation.

Installation Notes

The 28 AWG stranded conductor construction offers increased flexibility and a smaller bend radius, crucial for high-density racks. The tangle-free latch on the RJ45 connector prevents snagging during cable management and ensures a secure connection that is easily released when needed. The integrated RapidID barcode simplifies port mapping when used with compatible scanning software, reducing installation time and potential errors.
