Panduit UTP28SP30BL Patch Cord

Overview

The Panduit UTP28SP30BL is a 30-foot Cat 6 UTP patch cord designed for high-density network environments. Its compact 28 AWG stranded conductor construction simplifies cable management in racks and cabinets, while the CM/LSZH rating suits plenum spaces. This cord supports IEEE 802.3bt PoE++ applications, ensuring sufficient power delivery for demanding network devices without compromising data integrity. The integrated tangle-free latch streamlines moves, adds, and changes by preventing snags and ensuring a secure, fast release.

Compatibility

This patch cord is engineered to exceed ANSI/TIA-568.2-D Category 6 standards up to 250 MHz, making it suitable for Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T) and 10GBASE-T over limited distances. It is compatible with T568A and T568B wiring schemes and supports IEEE 802.3af (PoE), 802.3at (PoE+), and 802.3bt (PoE++) power delivery standards. Use this cable with any network switch or device requiring Category 6 performance and PoE capabilities, including IP cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP phones.

Installation Notes

The 0.150-inch (3.8mm) diameter cable and 28 AWG conductors facilitate easier routing in crowded patch panels and conduits compared to standard 24 AWG cables. The cable is CM/LSZH rated for use in air handling spaces. Pre-installed RapidID barcodes on the plugs enable efficient port mapping with compatible RapidID software, reducing configuration time and potential errors during network deployment or audits.
