Panduit UTP28SP20BU Cat 6 Patch Cord

Overview

The Panduit UTP28SP20BU is a 20-foot Cat 6 UTP patch cord, finished in blue, designed for high-speed data transmission and reliable network connections. Constructed with 28 AWG stranded copper conductors and a CM/LSZH (Communications Multipurpose/Low Smoke Zero Halogen) rated jacket, this cable supports up to 10 Gigabit Ethernet over limited distances and is rated for PoE++ (802.3bt) power delivery, making it suitable for powering demanding network devices. Its compact 3.8mm diameter simplifies routing in dense installations. The integrated tangle-free latch ensures secure connection and easy release, streamlining network management.

Compatibility

This patch cord is engineered to exceed ANSI/TIA-568.2-D Category 6 and ISO 11801 Class E 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 IEEE 802.3af/802.3at and 802.3bt types 3 and 4 Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications. It is suitable for digital video and VoIP applications.

Installation Notes

The 28 AWG stranded conductor construction offers flexibility for cable management in high-density environments. The cable features high-performance modular plugs with a tangle-free latch design to prevent snags during installation and removal. Pre-installed barcodes facilitate port mapping with RapidID software, simplifying inventory and troubleshooting.
