Panduit UTP28X30BU Patch Cord

Overview

The Panduit UTP28X30BU is a 30-foot Cat 6A UTP patch cord designed for high-speed data transmission and robust power delivery. Its compact 28 AWG solid CM/LSZH construction simplifies installation in dense environments, making it ideal for data center I/O consolidation, server virtualization, and backbone aggregation where reliable 10GBASE-T Ethernet connectivity is critical. The integral pair manager and tangle-free latch streamline moves, adds, and changes, while pre-installed RapidID barcodes facilitate efficient port mapping.

Compatibility

This patch cord is engineered to exceed ANSI/TIA-568.2-D Category 6A and ISO 11801 Class EA standards up to 500 MHz, ensuring compatibility with 10GBASE-T Ethernet. It supports IEEE 802.3af, 802.3at, and 802.3bt (Type 3 and Type 4) PoE applications, making it suitable for powering network devices like IP cameras and wireless access points. It is wired for T568A and T568B schemes.

Installation Notes

The UTP28X30BU features a 0.185-inch (4.7mm) diameter cable, reducing bundle size and improving airflow in high-density racks. The patented tangle-free latch prevents snags during installation and removal, ensuring a secure connection without accidental disengagement. Its solid conductor construction requires careful bending to avoid damage.
