Description

Panduit UTP28X20BU 10G 28AWG 20ft Patch Cord

Overview

The Panduit UTP28X20BU is a 20-foot Cat 6A unshielded twisted pair (U/UTP) patch cord designed for high-speed networking applications. Its 28 AWG solid copper construction and compact 0.185-inch diameter simplify cable management in dense environments like data centers, enabling reliable 10GBASE-T Ethernet connectivity. The integral pair manager and patented tangle-free latch streamline installation and maintenance, reducing deployment time.

Compatibility

This patch cord exceeds ANSI/TIA-568.2-D Category 6A and ISO 11801 Class EA standards, ensuring compatibility with all 10GBASE-T Ethernet networks operating up to 500 MHz. It is wired to T568A/T568B standards, making it compatible with virtually any network device. The cord supports IEEE 802.3af/at/bt (PoE++) up to 90W, suitable for powering network devices like IP cameras or wireless access points.

Installation Notes

The cable features a CM/LSZH (Communications Multipurpose/Low Smoke Zero Halogen) flammability rating, suitable for use in air-handling spaces. The integrated RapidID barcoding facilitates easy port mapping with compatible scanning software, accelerating network audits and troubleshooting. The centered de-embedded plug design ensures a secure connection without excessive strain on the RJ45 connector.
