Panduit UTP28SP20GY Cat6 Patch Cable

Overview

The Panduit UTP28SP20GY is a 20-foot Category 6 unshielded twisted pair (UTP) patch cable designed for high-performance copper connectivity. Its 28 AWG construction and CM-rated LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket make it suitable for deployment in data centers, telecommunications rooms, and enterprise networking environments, including plenum spaces where fire safety is critical. This cable ensures reliable data transmission for surveillance systems and other network infrastructure.

Compatibility

This cable is engineered to meet TIA-568-C.2 and ISO/IEC 11801 standards, ensuring interoperability with standard networking equipment. It supports 1 Gbps data rates and up to 250 MHz bandwidth, making it compatible with Gigabit Ethernet networks and suitable for connecting IP cameras, network switches, NVRs, and other network devices within a structured cabling system. Ensure your network infrastructure adheres to these standards for optimal performance.

Installation Notes

The CM-rated LSZH jacket provides a balance of performance and safety for installations in commercial buildings. Its 28 AWG construction offers flexibility for cable management in high-density environments like server racks and patch panels. The unshielded design simplifies termination but requires careful routing away from high-EMI sources to maintain signal integrity.
