Panduit UTP28SP25 Patch Cord

Overview

The Panduit UTP28SP25 is a 25-foot Cat6 UTP patch cord designed for high-performance network connections in demanding environments. Its compact 28 AWG stranded conductor construction and CM/LSZH flammability rating make it suitable for plenum spaces and installations requiring reduced cable diameter. The tangle-free latch on the modular plugs simplifies port management and ensures secure connections, streamlining moves, adds, and changes within your network infrastructure.

Compatibility

This patch cord supports a wide range of network applications including 10BASE-T, 100BASE-T (Fast Ethernet), 1000BASE-T (Gigabit Ethernet), and 10GBASE-T over limited distances as specified by industry standards. It is also compatible with ATM up to 1.2 Gb/s, digital video, and VoIP. The UTP28SP25 is wired to be compatible with both T568A and T568B wiring schemes, ensuring broad compatibility with existing network hardware and standards. It meets or exceeds ANSI/TIA-568.2-D Category 6 and ISO 11801 Class E standards.

Installation Notes

Constructed with 28 AWG stranded conductors, this patch cord is designed for flexibility and ease of installation, particularly in high-density patching environments. The CM/LSZH rating indicates compliance for use in certain plenum spaces, reducing fire load and smoke emission compared to standard PVC cables. It supports IEEE 802.3af/802.3at and 802.3bt type 3 and type 4 PoE applications, drawing power directly from compatible network equipment without needing a separate power supply.
