Panduit UTP28SP20 Patch Cord

Overview

The Panduit UTP28SP20 is a 20-foot Cat 6, 28 AWG unshielded twisted pair (UTP) patch cord designed for high-density network environments. Its compact 0.150-inch diameter and stranded conductors simplify cable management and routing in tight spaces, while the tangle-free latch ensures secure connections and easy release for moves, adds, and changes. This cord supports IEEE 802.3bt Type 3 and Type 4 PoE applications, delivering up to 100W for powered devices.

Compatibility

This patch cord is engineered to exceed ANSI/TIA-568.2-D Category 6 standards, ensuring performance for Ethernet 10BASE-T, 100BASE-T (Fast Ethernet), 1000BASE-T (Gigabit Ethernet), and 10GBASE-T over limited distances. It is compatible with T568A and T568B wiring schemes and supports various ATM and digital video applications. Its 28 AWG construction makes it ideal for use with high-density patch panels and network switches where space is constrained.

Installation Notes

The UTP28SP20 features high-performance modular plugs with a tangle-free latch that prevents snagging during installation and removal. Pre-installed RapidID barcodes facilitate quick and accurate port mapping when used with compatible RapidID software, streamlining network documentation and troubleshooting. The CM/LSZH (Communications Multipurpose/Low Smoke Zero Halogen) flammability rating makes it suitable for use in plenums and other environments requiring reduced smoke and flame spread.
