Panduit UTP28X30GR 30FT CAT6A 28AWG GRN CM/LSZH UTP PATCH CORD

Overview

The Panduit UTP28X30GR is a 30-foot Category 6A UTP patch cord designed for high-speed network deployments where reliable data transmission is critical. Its 28AWG stranded copper conductors and CM/LSZH (Riser/Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket make it suitable for in-wall installations and environments requiring reduced flame spread and smoke emission. This cable ensures signal integrity for 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications up to 100 meters, making it a solid choice for connecting network devices in data centers, enterprise networks, and structured cabling systems.

Compatibility

This Cat6a patch cord is compatible with all standard RJ45 network interfaces and equipment. It is designed to support 10GBASE-T (10 Gigabit Ethernet) and backward compatibility with lower Ethernet standards (1000BASE-T, 100BASE-TX). Use it to connect network switches, routers, servers, workstations, and other IP-enabled devices within a structured cabling system. It is suitable for use with network equipment from all major manufacturers, including Cisco, Juniper, HPE, Dell, and Ubiquiti, provided they utilize standard RJ45 connectors.

Installation Notes

The 28AWG stranded conductors offer flexibility, which is beneficial for patch panel connections and tight routing scenarios. The CM/LSZH jacket meets riser fire-rating requirements and reduces smoke output in case of fire, making it compliant for use in many commercial building spaces. Ensure proper bend radius management to maintain optimal performance and longevity; avoid sharp kinks or excessive tension during installation.
